About Estatey

The organized record your family won't have to build from scratch.

A will says who gets what. It almost never says which bank, which account number, or where the deed is kept. Estatey is the record that does — kept current while you're here, and handed over the day someone else needs it.

Why we built it

Most estate planning stops at the will.

A will settles who inherits what. It doesn't say which of four banks the checking account is at, what the login is, or which drawer holds the deed. That's usually left for whoever is grieving to reconstruct — from mail, old emails, and guesswork.

Estatey exists to close that gap. You add statements as they arrive; Estatey reads them, keeps a record by category, and regenerates one printable summary any time something changes. It sits next to the will, not instead of it.

What a will alone doesn't tell them
  • Which institution holds each account, and the account number
  • Who the named beneficiary actually is on file — the designation that overrides the will
  • Where the deed, the title, or the policy paperwork physically is
  • Who to call first: the executor, the attorney, the CPA

What we believe

A short list of things we won't compromise on.

01
Privacy first
Your estate data lives in your own Google Drive, not in a database we hold. Estatey should never become a single place worth breaking into.
02
Built to be handed over
The end product is a printed page, not a login your executor may never get access to. Paper is what actually gets found.
03
Plain language, no jargon
Legible type, short forms, and explanations before instructions — because the person filling this out is planning for family, not filing paperwork for work.
04
No lock-in
It's your Drive folder and your file. If Estatey ever went away, what you built would still be sitting there, unaffected.

Who's behind it

A small, independent project — not a growth team.

Estatey is built and maintained independently, not by a venture-backed team chasing engagement metrics. That means no ads, no selling your data, and no pressure to add complexity nobody asked for. It also means questions and bug reports reach a real person, not a queue.

If something's broken, confusing, or missing, we want to hear about it.
