Three phases to protect what matters

A practical framework for families navigating one of life's most difficult moments. No legal jargon, just what protects the property, the estate, and each other.

Secure the property — Hours 0–24

Change the locks, control access, and stop anyone from removing items until the estate is protected.

Create the record — Hours 24–48

Video and photograph the entire property before anything is touched, sorted, or moved.

Locate what matters — Hours 48–72

Find the will, the deed, and the financial documents the legal process can't move forward without.
