The Executor's Checklist - "What do I do?"
What to do after a parent dies, in order.
You just lost your mom or dad, and somehow you're the one everyone is turning to. Hold on, and know that you don't have to remember it all. You really don't have to have all the answers. This checklist takes the weight out of your head and puts it on paper, one gentle step at a time.
Inside the 16-page fillable PDF:
- Four stages: the first week, weeks two to four, months one to three, and closing it out
- Will or trust? A plain-English page on what each one does
- Trackers for death certificates, calls, accounts, debts, digital accounts, and property
- Key phone numbers already filled in
Type into it on screen or print it and write by hand. Skip what doesn’t apply to your family. That’s allowed.

Organization and clarity, not legal, tax, or financial advice. Rules vary by state. Confirm legal steps with an estate attorney.
