As of the date of death

The estate, reconstructed

The person who could explain these accounts is gone. All you have is paper: statements across banks, brokerages, and years, in every format and every quality. CounselPro reads all of it, rebuilds each balance to the day they died, and flags the money that moved in the months before, so the accounting you file is complete and every line has a page behind it.

The inventory
What did they own that day?

Every account rebuilt to its balance on the date of death, summed into the gross estate the court is waiting for.

The final months
What left before you got the file?

The large withdrawals and transfers in the last quarter of life, each one dated and tied to the statement it came from.

Undue influence
Who got close to the money at the end?

New joint owners, power-of-attorney withdrawals, money moving to one heir. Surfaced neutrally, for you to explain or challenge.

The questions probate turns on

The estate, accounted for

Administering an estate comes down to a handful of hard questions. CounselPro gives you a straight answer to each one, drawn from the statements and traceable back to the page.

A worked example

How one estate came clear

A contested estate: six accounts, four years of records, half of it clean PDFs and half faded scans and old faxes. The other heirs suspected the sibling who lived closest had been moving money. Here is what the reconstruction found once every statement went in.

$120,000
A joint owner added at the end

Ten weeks before death, a new name went on the brokerage account. The funds would have passed outside the estate, around the other three heirs, until the statements showed when it happened.

$115,000
Money to one heir and a caregiver

A transfer to a single heir and a check to the in-home caregiver, both in the final 90 days, traced from the account they left to the day they cleared.

$865,640
The gross estate, rebuilt

Every account reconstructed to its balance on the date of death, across four years of records and six accounts, summed into one inventory the court could accept.

The upshot

What used to mean a paralegal and weeks of data entry, or a forensic accountant the estate could rarely justify, was done in under an hour. The fiduciary filed an accounting with every figure linked to its page. When the accounting was challenged, it held.

When the accounting is contested

Answer every beneficiary

A fiduciary can be surcharged for an accounting that does not hold. The worst moment is a beneficiary's lawyer pointing at a number you cannot trace. When every balance and every transfer opens to the page it came from, that moment goes away. You walk in with the whole estate and you can defend each piece of it.

Q

Why is the brokerage $120,000 lighter than the will assumed?

A

A new joint owner was added ten weeks before death. The account, the date, and the balance before and after are on page 7.

Q

Who received money in the final months?

A

One heir got a $75,000 transfer, the caregiver a $40,000 check, both inside the last 90 days. Named, dated, and traced to the account each one left.

Q

Is this every account, or are there more?

A

Six accounts, four years of records, with each account-month that is present and each one that is missing laid out before the inventory was certified.

Q

Can you prove these balances, or is this an estimate?

A

Every balance opens to the statement page it was drawn from. Nothing in the accounting is a guess.
