Every estate is different.
Here's what yours might involve.

It can take an average of 600 hours over 12-18 months for an executor to settle an estate when they do it on their own. See how it could vary by the size of your estate.

Alix can save you an average of 210 hours — over 5 full-time work weeks

Client Reviews

"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.”

Family Member - MI
Barbara B.

“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."

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.

Probate & Estate Settlement 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.

What is “Pro Se” probate?

“Pro Se” means representing yourself: filing probate without hiring a lawyer. Many states allow this for simple, uncontested estates. Alix supports "Pro Se" probate by preparing and filing all paperwork, managing the estate tasks beyond probate, and providing a licensed attorney if your state requires one at any step.

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 if I already started the probate on my own?

Many families come to us after they’ve filed and feel overwhelmed. We can review what’s been done, step in to fix paperwork, and help move everything forward.

Can I trust Alix with personal and financial information?

Absolutely. We use bank-level encryption to protect your data. Only licensed professionals and estate specialists working on your case have access to your files.

Can I talk to someone before committing?

Yes. Our intro call It’s a no-pressure call to learn about your estate situation. We’ll ask a few questions, explain whether Alix is the right fit, and give you a flat-fee quote if we can help. No commitment required.

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.
