Losing someone is hard enough.
The estate takes 20 months.

No — and we're upfront about that. EstateMate is a guided estate management platform. We walk you through your state's exact requirements, help you organize every document, and flag when professional legal help is the right call. We'll never let you guess — and we'll always be upfront about what needs an attorney.

All 50 US states. Our intestate succession guidance is built from publicly available state statutes. That said, laws change — we update our guidance regularly and always recommend verifying with a local attorney for complex situations.

Absolutely not. That's the whole point. EstateMate is designed for people who have never dealt with probate and are figuring it out for the first time while grieving. We explain every term in plain English, give context for every step, and never assume prior knowledge.

Yes — up to 6 family members can share one estate workspace. You can assign tasks, share documents, and all see the same checklist and progress. One family member is designated the estate administrator, but everyone stays informed and involved.

EstateMate handles common estate scenarios well. For situations that go beyond what a guided tool can support — contested heirs, multi-state property, business assets, or significant debt — we surface that clearly so you know when to bring in professional help. We'd rather be honest than mislead you.
