The kit behind the checker
The checker named your door. The kit walks the whole settlement: the bank playbook first — because that counter, not the courthouse, is where small estates stall — then your state's walkthrough, the worksheets, the creditor order, the calendar, and the letters. One payment, yours to keep.

Included in the $39 Small Estate Kit: all six sections above, built on the same checked dataset as the checker on this site (rules checked October 2026) — not a form. The state's form is usually free; the path is what the kit sells.
The checker put you on the affidavit path or the summary track — or close enough that the count decides it. You want the settlement as one document instead of forty court PDFs and a bank's voicemail tree: the refusal playbook, the exact walkthrough for your state and your date of death, and the creditor order worked before you sign anything.
Estates in a genuine dispute, estates that cannot pay their debts, and estates with property in several states — those belong with a probate attorney, and the checker says so in its verdict when it sees them. The kit is also not legal advice and never pretends the court can be skipped when the law says otherwise; it prepares you to use the shortcut the law actually built.

Instantly, as a web page you can read and print — the link arrives with your payment confirmation. No account to create and nothing to install.
All 51 jurisdictions are in the walkthrough, and the limits are versioned by date of death: if the person died before a recent increase, the kit uses the limit that governed then, and says so.
The walkthrough names your state's official form and where the state publishes it — most are free from the court. What the kit adds is everything around the form: the count, the bank playbook, the order of debts, the calendar. A form without the path is how families end up with the right paper for the wrong procedure.
