When someone passes away, families face a confusing maze of legal requirements. SwiftProbate transforms this overwhelming process into a clear, manageable journey.
Families face complex legal requirements with no clear guidance on what to do or when to do it.
Your mother-in-law passed in Ohio but owned a vacation home in Florida. Which state's rules apply? Which court do you file in? One Google search returns 50 conflicting answers.
Did they have a pension from a job 20 years ago? A forgotten life insurance policy? An old 401(k)? Families routinely discover accounts months into probate that should have been handled first.
In California, you have 30 days to file the will with the court. In Texas, it's 4 years — but claims against the estate expire in months. Miss a deadline and the consequences are permanent.
A bank account in one state, property in another, a brokerage registered in a third. Each institution has different forms, different requirements, different departments to call.
The average probate attorney charges $3,000–$10,000 — and that's before court fees. For a simple estate, that can consume 10–20% of what your family inherits.
You're managing grief while learning an unfamiliar legal process on a deadline. Every phone call, every form, every confusing letter from the court adds to the weight.
