Turning plans into action with expert estate settlement support

A plan on paper isn't a process in motion.

Estate-Minder helps you carry out your role as Executor, providing estate settlement support that keeps everything organized and on track.

A clear path forward for executors managing an estate

Estate-Minder offers professional estate settlement support that provides a structured process and a single point of contact.

Signing paperwork is only the beginning. We help you make sense of the responsibilities, organize timelines and tasks, coordinate with professionals, and make sure nothing critical falls through the cracks.

How long does it take to settle an estate?

Executor legal requirements can be challenging – and the probate process takes time. Finalizing the estate settlement process after someone dies generally takes between six months to a year, including probate.

Estate-Minder helps executors stay on task to settle estates efficiently. We manage all the details — so the person named executor can complete the process without feeling overwhelmed.

Estate management steps provided by the Estate-Minder team include:

  • Building a timeline with clear priorities and actionable next steps.
  • Document and asset collection including wills, trust records, account statements, and property information.
  • Coordinating vendors and resources such as appraisers, real estate agents and cleanup crews.
  • Monitoring progress and tracking tasks to keep the process moving, while providing ongoing updates.
  • Closing the estate by finalizing tasks and ensuring all transfers and distributions are executed correctly.

Chief Executive Officer & Executor

I was very challenged when managing an estate settlement alongside my busy work schedule – plus juggling kids. My attorney referred me to Estate-Minder and it's been such a relief! The team kept everything running smoothly despite me living 8 hours away. They kept me and my family well informed and on task. They even found documents we thought were lost forever!
