Find accounts you didn't know existed
Bank accounts, insurance policies, retirement funds, and more. Elayne searches across 50+ financial categories, so nothing is left behind.
Step 3: Settlement
Stay in control, and skip the busywork
Whether it’s probate, trust administration, or both, we handle the paperwork, calls, and deadlines through final distribution.

Bring your own estate attorney, or use ours
Either way, Elayne saves you thousands by doing all of the admin, so you only pay attorneys for actual legal work.

How to Get Out of an Inherited Timeshare You Don't Want
Inheriting a timeshare often feels more like inheriting a burden than an asset because these vacation properties come with perpetual annual maintenance fees, special assessments, and complex usage restrictions that make them difficult to sell, expensive to maintain, and legally challenging to simply walk away from even when you never wanted the property in the first place.
