    Keep beneficiaries informed and reduce disputes

    Beneficiary Tools

    One of the most stressful parts of being an executor is managing the expectations of beneficiaries. EstateCopilot gives every beneficiary their own read-only dashboard so they can see progress, their expected share, and when distributions are likely - without needing to chase you.

    Key Benefits

    Everything it does for you

    Invitation-based access

    Send a secure invitation link to each beneficiary. They create a free account and are immediately linked to the estate - no manual linking needed.

    Real-time share calculation

    As you add assets and debts, each beneficiary's expected inheritance is recalculated automatically based on their allocation percentage or fixed sum.

    Progress transparency

    Beneficiaries see a hiy level live view of the estate administration progress - what stage you're at, what's been completed, and what's still outstanding.

    Distribution tracking

    Record interim and final distributions against each beneficiary. They can see exactly what they've received and what's still to come.

    Reduced executor pressure

    When beneficiaries have self-service access to information, the volume of 'where are we?' calls and emails drops significantly.

    How It Works

    Up and running in minutes

    1

    Add beneficiaries to the estate

    Enter each beneficiary's name, relationship, and inheritance allocation - either as a percentage of the residuary estate or a fixed legacy amount.

    2

    Send invitation links

    Generate a secure one-time invitation link for each beneficiary and send it by email or message. Links expire after 7 days and are single-use.

    3

    Beneficiaries access their dashboard

    Once accepted, beneficiaries log in with their own credentials to view their personalised read-only dashboard showing their share and estate progress.
