Automated Estate Settlement

 

We help automate the Estate Settlement Process

An estate planning and probate matter typically goes through phases, each presenting different legal challenges and opportunities. Our automation feature can improve efficiency while ensuring accuracy and compliance. Here’s how our automated workflow can help you streamline the process:

 

Lock
Receipt of Death Notice

When Our Family Assets receives a death notice from a State’s Vital Records Department, it is verified through multiple sources, minimizing reporting errors. Then your Digital Vault is immediately locked preventing any data changes.

Envelope
Automatic Notification Sent to Executor/Trustee

Next, a notice is sent to your designated and named Executor/Trustee, or Administrator instructing them to how to create account credentials so they can securely access the account data. (Death certificate and biometric ID proofing are required before credentials are issued.)

Access
Executor/Trustee Granted Account Access

Then, the Executor/Trustee, or Administrator can use their credentials to securely access the account data, ensuring they have an accurate inventory of assets. All activity is logged and recorded and no data can be altered or deleted.

Folder
Final Settlement Compliance

Upon final settlement, all data is archived to meet individual State requirements.

Why is this Important?

The first order of priority required by law to settle an estate is for the Executor/ Trustee to create a current and accurate inventory of assets. They act as fiduciaries and are legally responsible for all the transactions. In addition. states generally mandate strict accounting procedures for all sales or auctions, including receipts and disbursements. 

Therefore, having an accurate inventory is critically important. Without it, the settlement process can take years, even longer if litigation is involved, resulting in increased cost and time before your Heirs or Beneficiaries receive anything from your estate. 

That is why Our Family Assets provides the solution with simple automation that allows you to record every asset and automate the settlement process.
