The inventory tools alone probably saved me 100 hours.

Why executors pick Legacywyse

Not just a care plan. Legacywyse covers all aspects of estate settlement, because the process doesn't end once you've filed the paperwork.

Empathy

Where Empathy is strongest

Empathy is strongest for bereavement care: care managers, grief resources, and account-cancellation help, often provided through an employer or life insurer.

Our story

Why we built Legacywyse.

When someone dies, the family gets handed a stack of legal work while they're grieving. Court dates, filing deadlines, and forms full of words no one ever taught you.

That's broken. Legacywyse walks you through probate the way a patient expert would: one step at a time, with the documents drafted for you and the real costs and timelines on the table.

No billable hours, no guesswork, and a finish line you can see from the start.

Connect to accounts from 10,000+ supported institutions.
