    Estate accounts that practically write themselves

    Complete Ledger & Financial Accounts

    Executors have a legal duty to keep accurate accounts and provide them to beneficiaries on request. The EstateCopilot ledger records every income and expenditure automatically as you work, and generates a complete set of estate accounts whenever you need them.

    Key Benefits

    Everything it does for you

    Automatic transaction recording

    Asset sales, debt payments, and distributions are recorded in the ledger as you log them in the estate - no double entry required.

    Income and expenditure categorisation

    Transactions are automatically categorised (estate income, funeral expenses, administration costs, distributions) making the final accounts clear and auditable.

    Running balance

    See the current estate cash balance at all times - how much has come in, how much has gone out, and what's still available for distribution.

    Exportable reports

    Generate a formatted estate accounts report at any time. Export to PDF or spreadsheet for sharing with beneficiaries, HMRC, or co-executors.

    Distribution tracking

    Record interim and final distributions against each beneficiary. The ledger shows exactly who has received what, providing a clear audit trail.

    How It Works

    Up and running in minutes

    1

    Transactions are recorded as you work

    When you mark an asset as sold, record a debt payment, or log a distribution, the ledger entry is created automatically with the correct category and amount.

    2

    Add manual entries where needed

    For expenses not captured elsewhere - such as executor costs, professional fees, or postage - add manual entries directly to the ledger.

    3

    Generate the estate accounts

    When you're ready to provide accounts to beneficiaries, generate a formatted report showing the complete financial history of the estate from inception to closure.
