You’re searching for probate help.

But probate is only a fraction of what’s ahead.

Alix handles the probate work a lawyer would, plus the many estate tasks lawyers typically leave to you, like securing the home, locating accounts, stopping bills, organizing documents, and completing taxes.

More work done, often at a lower total cost.

Probate isn’t just one form

When a loved one passes, no one hands you a guidebook. Suddenly, you're in charge of legal paperwork, unfamiliar court processes, deadlines, and financial decisions. All while managing your own grief.

By now you’ve probably already:

Spent hours Googling probate, taxes, and for what to do next.
Received documents or court notices you don’t fully understand.
Felt pressure from family waiting for updates.
Searched for probate attorneys.
Worried that one wrong step could delay everything or cause legal issues.

How is Alix different?

Court clerks can’t give you legal advice or fix your mistakes. One missed step can stall probate for months. On average, families spend 600-900 hours and 12-18 months navigating it all. That’s time most people don’t have.

With Alix you get:

A licensed probate attorney when required representing you, not Alix, with full attorney-client privilege and independent legal advice.
A Care Team that handles the 150+ estate tasks beyond probate: debts, taxes, assets, account closures, and family communication.

With Alix, you don’t carry the risk or the workload. You stay the executor, but you gain expert legal protection and full estate support, all for one flat fee.

Don’t just take our word for it. Hear what others had to say about 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.”

FAQ

Do I really need to go through probate?

Yes. If your loved one had assets solely in their name (like a house, car, or bank accounts), probate is usually required to legally transfer them. Even if there's a will, most states require court involvement. Alix helps you handle the entire process correctly.

Is probate really that hard to do on my own?

Yes. Probate involves 20+ legal forms, strict deadlines, and court requirements. One mistake can cause months of delay, rejected filings, or even personal liability for the executor. That’s why Alix includes attorney support when required and expert preparation at every step.

How is Alix different from a lawyer?

A lawyer can handle probate filings, but that’s only about 20% of the process. Alix covers 100%: we prepare filings, handle debts, recover assets, file taxes, close accounts, and keep family informed, all for one flat fee that also includes a lawyer if required.

How much does Alix cost?

One flat fee, based on estate size and complexity. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices. Probate, attorney support (when required), estate administration, and tax preparation are all included.

What legal work is included in Alix’s flat fee?

Attorney fees for probate filings, required hearings, and court responses are included. If additional legal work is needed (like litigation or contested wills), we’ll connect you with counsel, but most estates are fully covered by our flat fee.
