Questions

Before you buy

I have a solicitor. Is this still useful?

Yes. Much of the work is gathering paperwork, telling organisations and keeping track of money. Handing over an organised file can save time and questions, and the accounts help you see where things stand.

Does it work in Google Sheets?

Yes. Upload the workbook to Google Drive and open it with Google Sheets, or open it in Excel or Numbers. The estate summary and the running balance update as you type.

Can I share it with the other executors and the beneficiaries?

Yes. Share your completed pages and the workbook with anyone involved in the estate. Clear accounts are often what beneficiaries most want to see.

Which countries does it cover?

England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, Ireland, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Each edition uses its own system’s steps and terms, and was checked against official guidance.

Is it legal or tax advice?

No. It helps you keep the paperwork, dates and accounts in order. It doesn’t value assets or work out tax. For advice, speak to a solicitor or lawyer, or a free advice service.
