You're Dealing With a Lot Right Now

Losing someone you love is one of the hardest experiences of your life. And now, in the middle of that grief, you're being asked to navigate a legal process that most Americans know almost nothing about.

You're not alone. More than half of Americans don't understand how probate works, what it costs, or how long it takes. Most people in your situation face the same impossible choice: hire an attorney you found online with almost no information, or try to figure it out yourself with generic articles that don't address your specific situation.

There is a better first step.

A Personalized Probate Assessment — Built for Your Situation

Probate Logix gives you a detailed, state-specific Probate Assessment Report so you understand exactly what your estate is facing — before you make any decisions or spend any money.

In less than five minutes, you answer 10–15 questions about the estate. We analyze your answers against your state's current probate laws and produce a report tailored specifically to this estate, in this state, at this point in time.

This isn't generic legal information you could find in a Google search. Your report is built from primary research of state statutes, developed with attorney input, and quality-scored before it reaches you. Only reports that score 4 or higher out of 5 are approved for delivery.

What Your Probate Assessment Report Covers

Five key areas, each customized to your specific estate and state.

Probate Determination

Does this estate actually need probate? Many don't. We analyze your estate's assets, legal status, and structure to give you a clear answer — not a guess.

Probate Type Identification

If probate is needed, what kind? Full probate, simplified probate, small estate affidavit? We identify which process applies and explain why — plus the alternatives your state offers.

Cost & Timeline Estimates

What will this likely cost and how long will it take? You get honest ranges based on your state and probate type — no single-number guesses.

Document & Preparation Checklist

What documents will you need? What forms will you encounter? We tell you exactly what to prepare, specific to your state's requirements and your probate process.

Attorney Guidance

Should you hire an attorney, or can you handle this yourself? You get a clear recommendation, customized questions to evaluate attorneys, and three probate attorneys in your area with reviews.

The Value of Understanding Probate First

$250–$1,000

Save on Your First Attorney Meeting

Attorneys charge $250–$500 per hour. Much of your first meeting is spent learning what probate is. Walk in already informed and save one to two hours of billable time on day one.

Confidence

Make Informed Decisions

When you understand what type of probate your estate requires, what it should cost, and what the process looks like, you can ask better questions and recognize when something doesn't add up.

Unlimited

A Report That Grows With You

Estate settlement unfolds over months. As you discover new assets or uncover debts, rerun your assessment at no extra cost. Your understanding stays current throughout the entire process.

Why Probate Logix — and Why Now

VS. HIRING AN ATTORNEY ALONE

We Don't Replace Your Attorney. We Make Sure You Get Your Money's Worth.

Most people choose a probate attorney with less research than they'd use to pick a mechanic. Probate Logix helps you walk in informed — so you spend less time being educated at $250–$500 per hour and more time evaluating their approach and costs.

VS. SEARCHING THE INTERNET

Generic Articles Can't Tell You What Your Estate Needs

Probate is state-specific and estate-specific. A general article about probate won't flag that your state's threshold changed last year or that the property type in the estate triggers a different process. We analyze your situation against current, state-specific laws.

VS. ESTATE SETTLEMENT SOFTWARE

We Help You Understand Before You Begin

Tools like EstateExec, Atticus, and Empathy help you manage probate once it's underway. Probate Logix sits upstream — we help you figure out whether probate is needed, what type, what it will cost, and whether you even need an attorney.

Built on Research. Verified for Accuracy.

  • Primary Legal ResearchBased on direct research of state statutes and probate codes
  • Attorney-ReviewedFramework developed with input from practicing probate attorneys

Probate Logix is an educational product. We help you understand probate and make better-informed decisions. We do not provide legal advice, and our assessment is not a substitute for professional legal counsel when it is needed.

  • Your information is encrypted and protected with 256-bit security
  • We never sell or share your personal data with anyone
