Executor Workbook
For executors and administrators settling an estate, and the firms that help them. Record every asset, claim and dollar in or out once, and the workbook keeps the beneficiaries’ shares, the bank reconciliation and an estate accounting summary that must balance to the cent.

What it does
- An Estate Accounting Summary: inventory, receipts and gains against disbursements, losses, distributions and what’s left. The difference must read $0.00.
- Assets: pick how each was titled and the workbook suggests probate or non-probate; only the class you confirm is counted.
- A Ledger of every dollar in or out of an estate account, linked to the asset, claim or beneficiary it belongs to. Transfers between accounts never count as income or expense.
- Debts and Claims with each decision, payments from the Ledger and the unpaid balance.
- Beneficiaries: specific gifts and residue shares, what each has received, and what’s still owed.
- Bank Rec, about 60 Tasks in six stages, federal reminder dates, and a Dashboard with four separate checks.
What you get
- An Excel workbook filled with a fictional estate that balances to the cent, and a BLANK copy for yours.

Before you buy
A recordkeeping tool, not legal, tax or financial advice, and not a court form. Dates are general-rule reminders; the deadlines that bind you come from your court, your state and the IRS. A balanced summary shows your records agree; it doesn’t prove the estate was administered correctly. Check anything that matters with your attorney and accountant.
