Phase 1 of 2 — Estate Scan

Let's start with the basics

First, the date of death — it tells us which California processes apply (several have value limits and waiting periods measured from this date). The whole thing takes under 2 minutes, and nothing is filed.

The date shown on the death certificate.

Step 1 of 5
Just a few quick questions — under 2 minutes

After the date, we'll ask about:

  1. The close family who survived
  2. Whether there was a living trust
  3. Roughly what was owned
  4. Whether everyone agrees on the estate

Then we'll show you the simplest California path that fits — and what it costs — before you create an account or pay anything. It's quick, and you can stop and pick up right where you left off.
