What Kindeed is

Settling a life is a long list. You don't have to hold it alone.

Kindeed is free guidance for families settling what someone left behind — whether it passes through probate, a trust, a transfer-on-death deed, or joint ownership. However the role came to you — named in a will, appointed by a court, a successor trustee, or simply the one the family trusts — we help you see the path and walk it at your own pace.

An estate is rarely just one thing: the paperwork, the deadlines, often a home, and the family who has to agree on it. Kindeed keeps those in one place.

  • A plan for your situation

    Whatever the path — probate, a trust, or something in between — you get plain next steps, state by state.

  • A secure place for the documents

    Upload once, keep everything together, and see what each document is for — explained in plain language.

  • Plain answers, anytime

    The guide answers questions in plain language, day or night. Educational information — never legal advice.

  • Vetted professionals, when you’re ready

    Real estate, legal, and tax advisors you can bring in on your timeline — with no commission and no pressure.

Probate & estate calculators

Three kinds of help, all vetted.

Most of what an estate asks of you, you can do yourself — and when you want a professional, they're here.

Real Estate Advisors

For the home and everything around it — what it’s worth, repair or sell as-is, listing, renting, or keeping it in the family.

Legal Advisors

Licensed attorneys for the questions that need one — the court process, disputes, and anything specific to your situation.

Tax Advisors

CPAs and enrolled agents for the estate’s taxes — final returns, the estate’s income tax, and step-up-in-basis questions when property sells.

Sometimes the honest answer is: you may not need probate at all.

Many estates pass mostly outside the court, and when that's yours we'll say so plainly. Kindeed is free for families — no paid tier. Professionals pay a flat subscription to be listed: no commission, no fee per introduction. We never sell your information, and estate money never passes through us.
