Ready for content, sources, and review

Technical shell only. Final legal, source, author, and product copy should be added in the content module before public launch.

Start here

Start with the estate path fork

This section is reserved for the first plain-English explanation of probate, small-estate shortcuts, simplified administration, and lawyer escalation.

  • What process might apply?
  • Which facts change the answer?
  • What should someone gather before calling a court, bank, DMV, or lawyer?

Product promise

Explain the path without pretending to decide it

This area should become the trust-building description of what Estate Wayfinder does and does not do.

  • Link to official sources near the point of need.
  • Separate general education from state-specific legal conclusions.
  • Keep research-call or lead-capture language outside legal-advice territory.
