Store the contact information of all the stakeholders in each trust file. For beneficiaries, keep track of whether they may encroach on capital, the type of interest they maintain, and the contact information of their legal representatives. Keep tabs on the trustees as well, including each trustee's role on the file, their TIN number, and all needed contact information. Include other important contacts, such as accountants, landlords, wealth advisors, and notaries. Estateably will then use these contacts to track both disbursements and payments before generating accounting reports.
Input the general information about the trust into Estateably once, then let our software automatically generate forms and letters for your trust file. Instantly draft Trust Number Application forms, Beneficiary Receipt and Release, various affidavits, and more. All court forms and letters are downloadable and editable as Word or PDF documents. Once generated, these forms (and reports) are automatically saved and stored in the file.
Easily manage and maintain different versions of your forms for simple organization and safekeeping. Upload any forms and documents of your own. When ready, bulk export the documents for any submissions. If working on a testamentary trust, seamlessly integrate the estate administration and trust administration files to tackle their issues side by side.
Keep on top of a changing record of inventory. Quickly record all of the trust assets easily with searching and autofill features, then view the assets on a single page. Include all forms of assets, including cash, income receivable, real estate, and stakes in private companies. Keep track of the capital and income amounts throughout the lifetime of the trust. If a testamentary trust, instantly calculate the stock and bond values from the date of death. Review the trust assets at a glance with our intuitive inventory system.
View the holdings of your bank and investment accounts. Choose between bonds, stocks, mutual funds, and more. Record various trust bank accounts and their holdings; Estateably will track the investment's change in value directly, saving you the hassle of calculating each account or stock's performance.

Estateably will keep track of market price changes so that you don't have to. Have a clear understanding of your portfolio at a touch of a button, without pouring through online banks or paper files.
Easily calculate the compensation fees. Keep track of administration expenses and the services' compensation with our app. If taking compensation based on the disbursements or transfers, Estateably can help automatically calculate these percentages every time you transfer assets.
Keep track of your distributions. View the beneficiary bequest and residue entitlements before transferring them their payment. Record all of the beneficiaries' requests for distributions and the answers to them. Coming soon, our client portal will allow beneficiaries to ping the trustee directly with their requests through our client portal.
When a distribution to a beneficiary is made, quickly and easily log it on the website. Once the allocations are inputted, the residual value of the assets will adjust, giving you up-to-date snapshots of the beneficiaries' entitlement. Create a proposed distribution schedule for the future to plan for the trust's future. Provide all this information to the beneficiaries and other interested parties with ease.
If a file starts getting complicated, easily generate a distributions report detailing the distributions made to each beneficiary. Sorted by each recipient, this document can help a trustee conduct an equitable distribution of the trust's assets. Never overlook the payment of a beneficiary again.
