Yes! We highly recommend you buy one for the individual for who you are the Executor to their estate, and provide them with an Estate Crate. This will make your future role a lot easier!

I am an Executor for someone who recently passed, will this product help me?

An Estate Crate is designed to be put together by the owner of the assets.

It is suitable to help an Executor once the owner has completed their Estate Crate, upon the owners passing.

An Estate Crate workbook may help you in your role, as our packages do provide a great level of detail and tracking with respect to the assets people own, however you may not see the full benefit of the product unless the owner had completed their Estate Crate prior to passing.

You may want to consider an Estate Crate for yourself or others that you care for.

Do you take returns?
