Most families don’t struggle after a death because they’re careless. They struggle because no one explains the order of things. This account shares clear, guidance for executors. No legal advice. Just clarity. If you’re dealing with this right now: you’re not alone.

Seahawks are winning tonight, right?

Executor mistake #1: trying to be ‘nice’ The fastest way to ruin an estate? Distribute money too early. I’ve seen it dozens of times: A sibling needs cash. Executor wants to help. Money goes out. Later, the estate needs cash: taxes debts legal fees Now what? You ask for the money back. Good luck. In some states, executors can be personally liable. Not morally. Legally. Being executor isn’t about kindness. It’s about discipline. The best executors: slow down document everything communicate constantly Clarity feels cold. But clarity prevents family wars.

Eight things you should NEVER put in your will: Your will is opened after you die. That alone makes some instructions useless. Example: Funeral wishes. If your family reads them a week later… You’re already buried. Same with organ donation. Putting it in your will is too late. Lives depend on timing. Your will is for: asset distribution guardianship executor authority Not emotional instructions. Not logistics. The biggest mistake? Using a will to control accounts that already have beneficiaries. IRAs. Life insurance. Retirement accounts. They ignore your will. Estate planning is about putting instructions in the right container. Wrong container = ignored wishes. A clean estate plan is boring. And boring is exactly what your family needs.

A living trust only works if it owns your assets. Most don’t. Here’s the trap: You create a trust. You fund it perfectly. You move. New house. New title. And the trust gets… nothing. The title company defaults to: “husband and wife.” Not the trust. Nobody tells you. Nobody notices. Years later, someone dies. The trust exists. But the house doesn’t belong to it. So guess what happens? Probate anyway. This is why pour-over wills exist. They’re not redundant. They’re a safety net. They fix human error. Estate planning isn’t about perfection. It’s about designing for mistakes. Because mistakes always happen. If your plan only works when life goes perfectly… It won’t work.

Review and update plan every 3–5 years (or after major life events) 11. Communicate your plan with family or key individuals Do you have a plan in place?

@davj Specially in the last year

I don't know a single person who works in tech and hasn't seriously thought about quitting and running a small off-the-grid farm in the middle of nowhere

So you’ve been asked to be someone’s executor. What does that actually mean? Here’s a quick snapshot of what you’ll be handling: ✅ Filing the will with the probate court ✅ Coordinating funeral arrangements ✅ Paying remaining bills and taxes ✅ Distributing assets to the beneficiaries It’s an important role, but you don’t have to handle it alone. The smartest move? Work with an expert company who can guide you through each step.

@jehniiee hi lets grow together

Hey everyone 👋 I'm exploring something new and could use your help. As many of you know, I've been thinking about starting a business helping people in the US with their estate planing or execution. Before I go too far down this path, I want to actually talk to people who deal with this. I'm looking to have 10 conversations with anyone in the US that is dealing or will deal with this to understand what they're struggling with and whether I'm even solving the right problem. If that's you—or you know someone who fits—I'd really appreciate a quick chat. No pitch, no agenda, just trying to learn. Drop a comment or DM me if you'd be open to it. 🚀

Build in public – Day 15 - networking interviews almost finished. Extremely valuable feedback and interest. - i will start a DM campaign to get more interviews. - after that, collect all feedback points and start building the final portal. ✅Your feedback helps me learn, improve, and build something truly useful – always more than welcome. 🙌

People don’t hate work. They hate working a meaningless corporate job that underpays them. People are literally built to work. It’s biblical.

Build in public – Day 13 - I haven’t posted that much because I am spending all my time running validation interviews with target potential customers. - definitely the vibe coding mock up is game changer. - Extraordinary & positive feedback about the idea. One customer even asked me to join as investor :) ✅Your feedback helps me learn, improve, and build something truly useful – always more than welcome. 🙌

@corbin_braun With all respect, one thing is building an app and another different one is running a billion dollar business. Different skills

hope you realize we are in the new age of entrepreneurship. 1 developer can build million if not billion dollar companies now all alone. Just a laptop + WIFI + Focus. You don't have to believe me. I already did it.

@OmriBuilds Interviews with target users. This is exactly what I am doing right now for my project

Best way to validate an idea?

@SofiaMarin5555 Yeahh!!
