“Mom passed peacefully. I thought the hard part was over — then the mailbox started filling up. Caretabs took it all. I got to grieve instead of file.”
with Caretabs
Three steps. Most are on us.
Your part: One intake Call. Ours: everything after.
One intake Call
Tell your Specialist what happened. Hand over what you have.
We build the plan
Benefits, closures, fraud lockdown — started within 24 hours.
We stay on it until done
We handle the pushback, the resubmissions, the hold times.
You didn’t sign up for this. You’re in it anyway.
Social Security doesn’t call the bank. The bank doesn’t call the IRS. Every thread has to be pulled — and that someone is you.
“I’m exhausted. I don’t know who to call first. Every call ends with ‘mail a certified death certificate and wait 4–6 weeks.'”
We make the calls. We mail the certificates. We close the accounts. And we flag fraud before scammers find the obituary.
What we quietly take off your plate.
Every line item below — handled gently, on your behalf, in one flat fee. So you can be present with your family instead of on hold with theirs.
Government benefits
SSA, VA, OPM filed. Survivor benefits claimed.
Finances
Bank, credit, pension, 401(k), IRA — closed or transferred.
Insurance
Life, health, auto, home — claims filed, refunds issued.
Fraud protection
3-bureau credit freezes. Junk mail stopped.
Digital life
Email and social accounts closed or memorialized.
Estate essentials
Titles, beneficiaries, attorney handoff.
Subscription sweep
Every auto-renewal cancelled. Saves $200–$500/mo.
Dedicated Specialist
One real person. Bonded and HIPAA-trained.
Weekly updates
Plain-language progress every week until it’s done.
The average estate has 40+ institutions to close. We handle all of them.
No hourly bills. No upsells. No surprises.
Most families don’t realize how much is involved until they’re 200 hours in, on hold, repeating the same story to the sixth agency.
$399, flat. Until every door is shut.
One fee covers everything — from the first intake call to the final account closure — for as long as it takes.

“The first week, I woke up without a to-do list in my head. I forgot what that felt like.”
Straight answers, no pressure.
Can’t I just do this myself with a checklist?
You can. Families who try still average 513 hours. The checklist isn’t the hard part — the hold times and resubmissions are. That’s what we do for you.
Is this a replacement for an estate attorney?
No. Attorneys handle probate and disputes. We handle everything else — about 80% of the non-legal work, at 10% of the cost.
How do I know I can trust you with my loved one’s information?
Every Specialist is bonded, background-checked, and HIPAA-trained. SOC 2 Type II–grade handling. You’re copied on every outbound contact.
What if my situation is unusual?
It usually is. Multi-state estates, VA benefits, intestate parents, missing passwords — we’ve seen it. Book the intake; we’ll tell you honestly if we’re a fit before you pay.
How long does it take?
Urgent items (SSA, credit freezes, major closures) in the first two weeks. Claims typically resolve in 4–12 weeks. We stay on it until every door is shut — no extra fee.
What’s actually included in the $399 flat fee?
A dedicated Specialist, unlimited calls and letters on your behalf, closure of up to 40 accounts (utilities, subscriptions, memberships, financial), benefit claims filing, credit-bureau notifications, and weekly progress reports until the case closes. No hourly billing. No upsells.
Do I need to be the legal executor to hire you?
No. Spouses, adult children, siblings, or designated family members can engage us. For account closures that require executor authority, we’ll coordinate directly with whoever holds that role — even if that’s not you.
What documents do I need to get started?
Just the death certificate and a signed authorization form we provide. Everything else — account numbers, policy details, usernames — we help you track down as we go. Most families start with less than they think they need.
What if we start late — it’s been months (or years)?
There’s no expiration on grief, and there’s no expiration on our help. We regularly take on cases one, two, even five years out. Late-stage cleanup (stray subscriptions, unfiled benefits, identity monitoring) is one of our most common engagements.
Can you handle digital accounts — email, social media, photos?
Yes. We memorialize or close social accounts, recover cloud photo libraries where possible, cancel digital subscriptions, and work through platform-specific legacy processes (Apple, Google, Meta). Digital estates are often the messiest part — we know the playbooks.
What happens if I’m not satisfied?
Full refund within 30 days, no questions, no hoops. After that, if a specific task goes sideways, your Specialist’s manager gets involved within one business day. We’ve had a 98% satisfaction rate across 12,000+ families — but the guarantee is there regardless.
Will this affect the estate or taxes?
We don’t give tax or legal advice, but we coordinate cleanly with your CPA and estate attorney. Specialists document every closure, refund, and benefit recovered so your professionals have a clean paper trail when filing the final return.
The goodbye was peaceful. The rest can be too.
One intake. One specialist. The burden lifted — so you can return to remembering them.
