Elayne

Elayne is an online estate settlement platform that organizes what an executor has to do after a death. It builds a step by step roadmap customized to the estate type and state, holds documents in a vault, prefills the probate forms for the relevant state, searches for the deceased's assets across more than 100 financial sources, sets up and tracks the estate bank account and its expenses, and lets family members and attorneys work on the same case. The company describes its approach as combining the latest AI with human compassion, with vetted estate attorneys and CPAs available when specialized legal or tax expertise is needed. It is designed for families, executors and the attorneys who assist them. Its distinguishing feature is Verified Asset Search, which uses credentialed government access to locate bank and investment accounts, insurance policies, property, debts and cryptocurrency that the family may not know about. Other capabilities include an interactive estate inventory, a checklist of critical tasks with deadlines, collaboration tools, EIN application assistance and one on one sessions with an estate expert. Elayne publishes four tiers. The Free tier, with no credit card needed, includes the customized roadmap, a partial interactive inventory, a document vault for up to 10 documents, prefilled probate forms and the task checklist. Estate Setup is $500 and provides a personalized roadmap with next steps and deadlines, an estimated inventory and probate forms ready for review and filing. Asset Discovery is $3,000 and adds the Verified Asset Search across more than 100 sources plus a one on one session with an estate expert. Estate Closing is $6,000 and adds contacting banks and institutions, the EIN application, prefilled transfer forms and estate bank account tracking with ongoing expert sessions.
