You're Not Alone

Thousands of families begin estate settlement without knowing where to start. Here's what a few had to say after working with Alix.

"Alix made the whole process so much easier and far less overwhelming. I even discovered bills I had missed after my father passed, and they helped me take care of them. Between working 65–70+ hours a week, raising a family, and managing a home, I didn’t have the time to handle everything alone. This service truly saved me countless hours and stress."

“We tried handling probate on our own, but it was just too confusing and stressful—we didn’t even know where to start. Alix stepped in, figured everything out, and got the ball rolling. Their Settlement Team has been so professional, helpful, and kind throughout the whole process.”

“As the executor of my mother’s estate, I was drowning in paperwork. Being able to send everything to Alix and knowing they would handle it all was life-changing. What felt impossible suddenly became manageable, and I could finally focus on my family instead of all the tasks."

You Probably Don't Need a Lawyer for Everything

Many people assume they need a probate attorney to manage every part of estate settlement. In reality, attorneys are often only needed for specific parts of the process, and Alix can provide one when necessary. Alix coordinates the entire process—from paperwork and deadlines to attorney communication when legal support is required.

"I thought we'd need a lawyer for everything. We didn't."

— R. Okafor

02

Probate Is Only One Piece of Estate Settlement

Most families picture dividing assets and closing accounts. What surprises them is everything else. Creditor notifications. Tax filings. Government paperwork. Deadlines. Communicating with banks. Every step has to happen in the right order, and missing one can delay the process and result in costly mistakes. That's why many families choose one team to coordinate everything from start to finish.

Did you know?

On average, families spend 600–900 hours and 12–18 months settling an estate.

Families Often Find Money They Didn't Know Existed

Estate settlement isn't only about distributing what's already known. It's also about finding what isn't, like forgotten bank accounts, insurance policies, investment accounts, and important documents. Many families are surprised by what turns up once someone knows what to look for.

"We found accounts we never knew existed."

— K. Patterson

04

Keeping Everyone Informed Becomes a Job of Its Own

When several family members are involved, keeping everyone on the same page becomes difficult. Has that form been filed? Did the bank respond? Who's handling taxes? Instead of endless phone calls and group texts, Alix gives families one place to track progress and securely share updates, so everyone stays informed without creating more work.

You Don't Have to Handle It Alone

Most families don't realize they have another option. Instead of coordinating attorneys, paperwork, taxes, and deadlines themselves, many choose a single service that manages the entire process from start to finish. Alix has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has helped families in all 50 states with their dedicated team, transparent pricing, and guidance every step of the way.
