When someone passes away, their affairs (i.e., their estate) must be settled (assets collected, debts paid off, distributions made, etc.). Depending on a variety of factors, the person responsible for settling these affairs may be known as a personal representative, administrator, trustee, and more, but to keep things simple, for now we'll use the term "executor" to refer to all of these roles.
EstateExec is online software that helps organize and manage the process of estate settlement. First-time executors, people preparing their own estates in advance, and professional estate lawyer (click here for Introduction for Lawyers) all use EstateExec to simplify this process.
EstateExec provides a customized list of executor tasks, plus a centralized location to collect, manage, and optionally share estate data.
EstateExec also includes a number of discount offers from name-brand suppliers for services commonly needed by executors.
These discount offers are associated with particular tasks assigned to your estate, and are usually from name-brand suppliers. EstateExec does not recommend or receive compensation from these discount providers; we make these offers available simply as a service to our customers.
