Is the workshop really free?

Yes. It is free to attend and there is nothing to buy afterwards. We run it because families who understand the sequence early have a much easier few months.

Do I have to be on camera?

No. Cameras stay off unless you choose otherwise, and questions can be typed rather than spoken.

Is this legal advice?

No. It is general information about process and sequence. We say plainly when something needs a qualified professional in your state.

What if I cannot make the date?

Register anyway and pick the session that suits you. We run the workshop regularly, so you can join a later one.

What we cover

Six things nobody explains at the time

The first two weeks, in order

What actually has a deadline, what only feels urgent, and the small number of things worth doing before anything else.

Certified death certificates

Who can order them, how many families typically need, and which organizations insist on their own copy.

Who is legally responsible

Executor, personal representative, surviving spouse. Knowing who signs is what unblocks stalled requests.

Notifying the right organizations

Social Security, employers and pensions, insurers, banks, utilities, credit bureaus, and the order that causes the least rework.

Where families get stuck

Accounts nobody knew about, siblings duplicating calls, paperwork returned for a missing signature.

Live questions

Bring the thing you are stuck on. General information only, and we will say plainly when something needs a professional.

Who it is for

Adult children helping a parent
Surviving spouses and partners
Anyone named as an executor
People planning ahead for their own family

This page provides general information to help you get organized. It is not legal, medical, financial or mental-health advice. Requirements can depend on the estate and the circumstances, so consider confirming anything important with the relevant agency or a qualified professional.
