Excellent Resource for Organizing Estate Docs
I highly recommend EstateExec for anyone who, like me, has to serve as an estate executrix with no previous experience in that role. I found EstateExec through a Google search about the functions of an executrix. Immediately following my father's death, I used the software to identify and gather all of the necessary documents, accounts, and other data into one place. It was an easy way to have one central location for everything. Although my dad's estate was not complicated since I had already been his financial guardian, it was good to have checklists to make sure I hadn't missed anything. I thought the $99 cost was entirely reasonable and it certainly saved me money since I didn't have to contact the high-priced lawyer with every single question that I had. I know that there are a lot of additional features in the software that I have not had to use, but which I'm sure would be of tremendous value in a more complicated estate. There is a small learning curve, but if you just follow the guidelines provided, it doesn't take long. If you are faced with handling a loved one's estate, EstateExec is an excellent first step in educating yourself on your responsibilities and beginning the estate process. It helped me create order out of chaos at a very difficult time. Even with a professional background in finance, I found it an invaluable tool.
