What this is
- An organizational system for US estate administration
- An ordered checklist, six adaptable letter drafts, a workbook, and printable records
- A practical companion to the advice your attorney, accountant, or court provides
What this is not
- Legal, tax, or financial advice
- State-specific probate forms or filing software
- A promise that every task applies to every estate
The hard part is not effort. It is sequence.
An executor can be careful and still lose track of what happened, what supports it, and what must happen next.
The work arrives from several directions at once: a property that needs securing, institutions asking for documents, expenses that need a clean trail, beneficiaries waiting for updates, and deadlines that vary by state.
- SequenceThe checklist shows what belongs now, later, and only after authority is confirmed.
- CorrespondenceSix reusable drafts give common written requests a consistent starting point.
- Working recordTrackers and worksheets connect dates, amounts, documents, contacts, and follow-up.
One system, in the order the work arrives.
Three phases keep an urgent week, a long administration, and the final accounting from collapsing into one undifferentiated list.
Stabilize and secure
The first 72 hours through day 14: secure property, locate controlling documents, order certificates, preserve necessary services, and avoid acting too soon.
Administer and document
Establish authority, open the estate account, notify institutions and interested parties, build the inventory, and track claims and expenses.
Account, distribute, and close
Prepare the accounting, resolve reimbursements, obtain receipts and releases, distribute assets, and archive the final record.

The kit organizes work; it does not guarantee legal compliance or prevent every error.
Built to support the record behind each decision.
Estate work is easier to explain when the dates, documents, contacts, amounts, and next actions are connected.
- 01Checklist
See the sequence and date completed tasks. - 02Letters
Keep requests, enclosures, delivery, and responses consistent. - 03Records
Preserve numbers, contacts, documents, and follow-up in one structure.
The kit does not decide legal questions. It gives you a practical place to organize the work and retain the supporting trail.
Use it on screen or at the kitchen table.
Keep the guide open on screen, use the workbook for formulas and status cues, print the worksheets for a binder, or combine the formats. The workbook is optional because equivalent printable records are included.

Questions before you begin.
The boundaries matter as much as the contents. Review the format, US focus, professional-advice boundary, and purchase policy here.
Is this legal advice?
No. It is an organizational checklist, set of letter drafts, workbook, and printable record system. It is not legal advice, tax advice, or financial advice, and it does not replace a licensed professional.
Is it specific to my state?
No. The kit identifies common points where state law may control, including deadlines, notice, inventory, claims, and distribution. Confirm the rules and forms for the estate’s state with the court or a licensed attorney.
Is it useful if I already have a probate attorney?
Yes, for the administrative work that still sits with the executor: securing property, requesting records, organizing contacts, tracking expenses, preparing questions, and maintaining a working file. Your attorney remains the source of legal advice.
Must I use the Excel workbook?
No. The same five record systems have printable worksheet versions. The workbook adds formulas, totals, dropdowns, and status cues; the paper version leaves calculation and status review to you.
What files are included?
One guide containing the ordered checklist and six letters, one Excel workbook containing the Dashboard and five trackers, and one print-ready collection of 34 worksheet pages.
Does it work outside the United States?
The kit uses US probate and tax terminology, including executor, Letters Testamentary, EIN, and Form 1041. The broad organizational sequence may be familiar elsewhere, but the terminology and procedures are not universal.
What is the refund policy?
