A Day as an Estate Planner

People come to me to talk about the one thing they'd rather not: what happens after they're gone. The first meeting is mostly listening, then mapping the family. Who's the surviving spouse, which kid is responsible with money, who needs a special-needs trust, who's been written out and why. I build the package, will, revocable living trust, durable power of attorney, healthcare directive, and walk them through it in plain language because legalese is how plans get ignored. The part clients underestimate is funding. A trust that isn't funded is an empty box; if the house and the brokerage account aren't re-titled into it, everything still drags through probate. So I keep a funding checklist for every client and chase the deed re-recording and the beneficiary updates for weeks after they think we're done. I watch the exemption thresholds because a plan that was tax-smart two years ago can need a tweak. Signing day is its own choreography: notary, the right number of disinterested witnesses, the documents in order. The reward is a widow who calls a year later and tells me everything just worked, no court, no fighting.

That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.

Tools Estate Planners Already Own

Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

How we put this guide together

We build an estate planner's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for an estate planner — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
