What we do for estates (Estate & Executor Support)

Handld KC helps executors and families with the practical estate workload (inventory, asset locating, cancellations, and paperwork) so they can move the estate forward with less stress and fewer missed details.

Best for

• Probate / trust administration support (especially when the court or attorney needs documentation)
• Out-of-state executors who need boots-on-the-ground help in Kansas City
• Time-crunched families juggling grief, work, and logistics
• Paper-heavy estates (decades of records, unclear accounts, recurring charges)

Estate value impact (why this matters)

• Protect value: stop ongoing money leaks (subscriptions/automatic payments), reduce avoidable carrying costs and admin delays
• Reduce risk: create a clean paper trail (photos, descriptions, organized records) that supports attorneys/accountants and lowers dispute/confusion
• Save time: shrink the executor’s “legwork” load so decisions and filings happen faster

Prioritization (what to do first)

• Start with Subscription Cancellation + Mail Monitoring if there are unknown charges or ongoing bills, then do Asset Location and Probate Asset Inventory for court/attorney needs.
• If probate deadlines are immediate, start with Probate Asset Inventory first, then handle cancellations and document organization.

Typical timeline (varies by estate size and access)

• Quick-start tasks (cancellations, mail review, initial document triage): 1–7 days
• Probate home/contents inventory and documentation: 1–3 weeks
• Asset locating (accounts/policies/retirement) often runs 1–4+ weeks depending on institution response times

Works with

• Executor/administrator, trustee, beneficiaries/family, and coordinates alongside estate attorneys and CPAs (non-legal, non-tax support)

Deliverables (concrete outputs executors can use)

• Probate-ready asset inventory: room-by-room documentation of household contents, vehicles, collections
• Photo set + item descriptions organized for attorney/court review
• Value notes (where available/appropriate) and a structured inventory format
• Asset location worksheet listing discovered accounts/policies and next steps to request info
• Recurring-charge audit + cancellation log (what was found, what was cancelled, confirmation notes)
• Organized estate document system (labeled, grouped: deeds/titles/policies/statements, etc.)
• Executor support notes: prioritized task list + status tracker so nothing falls through the cracks
