FAQ

Is this legal advice?: No. It’s an organizational tool. It tells you what tasks exist and when they’re typically due; your attorney and your state’s courts govern the specifics.
Can I really get reimbursed?: Executors are generally entitled to reimbursement of reasonable estate-administration expenses. Keep the receipts — that’s half of what this app does.
Which states?: Deadline templates for all 50; flag yours at setup.
What if I already started?: Import where you are; the sequence adjusts.
