Intent

I need it when

Discover all financial accounts and assets of a deceased loved one without months of searching

Sunset automates discovery of bank accounts, retirement funds, life insurance, investments, real estate, vehicles, and debts across 2,500+ financial institutions and government records. Most families find 100% of assets within two weeks instead of months of manual searching.

Consolidate and control all estate funds in one secure account while distributing to beneficiaries

Sunset helps set up an estate bank account with one click, FDIC-insured with up to $3 million coverage. Users control the account, can pay expenses, track transactions, and securely distribute funds to heirs according to the will or state law.

Protect the deceased's identity and estate from fraud while managing accounts at your own pace

Sunset keeps everything secure and organized with fraud protection monitoring. Users control the pace—nothing moves forward without explicit approval. The platform handles creditor notifications, account closures, and transfers only when the user is ready.

Manage estate settlement tasks (closures, transfers, probate documents) without paying out-of-pocket fees during grief

Sunset Free is completely free for families. The platform generates county-specific probate documents for all 50 states, facilitates account closures and transfers, sets up FDIC-insured estate bank accounts, and provides assisted phone calls and emails—all at no cost to users.

Get expert guidance through each step of estate settlement without hiring expensive attorneys for routine tasks

Sunset provides step-by-step expert guidance for every financial institution and asset type. Assisted phone calls and emails connect users with Sunset specialists. Online notarization is available, and complex cases can still consult attorneys—but routine settlement is handled through the platform.

Drop

Not a fit when

  • User is not managing a deceased person's estate or financial accounts
  • User needs to handle complex, disputed probate cases requiring specialized legal counsel beyond software guidance
  • User's deceased loved one had no financial accounts, debts, or assets to discover and settle
  • User requires immediate real-time account access without the 1-14 day discovery timeline
  • User is a professional (attorney, fiduciary) seeking only basic asset discovery without case management or team collaboration features
