For families who want a clear roadmap but prefer to handle most of the paperwork themselves.
When someone dies, the paperwork and court process can feel overwhelming. Maybe you don’t need a long call, but you do want a clear, plain-English roadmap and the right words to use with the court, creditors, and family.
The DIY Probate Starter Kit gives you structure without the big price tag.
What you get
- Step-by-step checklist. A simple list of tasks in order, with notes like “call this office,” “gather these documents,” and “file this next.”
- Plain-English mini guide A short guide that explains, in human language, what probate is, what your county court usually cares about, and what to expect over the next few months.
- Email/letter templates you can customize and send to:
- Family members and heirs
- Creditors and debt collectors
- Utility companies and other services
- Your realtor or potential buyers
- One short Q&A email After you’ve gone through the kit, you can send me one email with your main question, and I’ll reply with my best plain-English guidance (not legal advice).
Who this is for
- You’re in Alabama.
- You’re comfortable doing paperwork and making phone calls, if you just know what order to do things in.
- Money is tight, or you want to save as much as possible by doing it yourself.
- You’re not ready (or able) to jump into a full call yet.
What this is not
- It’s not legal advice.
- It’s not a substitute for a probate attorney.
- It’s not customized to your exact family tree—that’s what the Probate Gameplan Call is for.
