Estateably has impressed

Very pleased with the program

PROS

Very impressed at how quickly court forms have been updated and how regularly improvements to the product have been implemented;

CONS

Integration with my practice was quite complete; It was not always clear how and what information entered into the program will appear on the court forms, but it has been constantly improving

Reason for choosing Estateably

It does all that I need and offers additional accounting services if/when needed on a particular file

Reasons for switching to Estateably

Cost, lack of updates and improvements to prior product

Love Estateably

It has been great. As with any software there is a learning curve, the customer service has made it a breeze to figure things out. Anyone with any estate experience can install the program and be up and running immediately. I absolutely LOVE Estateably!

PROS

I love that everything I need is there. Sometimes it takes a bit of time to find it, but any form I need is there in the program. The other thing I love is the customer service. There is never any delay when I have a problem that I need help with or an issue that needs to be addressed.

CONS

I wish the forms could be edited at the source instead of having to edit it each time you generate it. We have certain formatting preferences (most of which are not critical to the form - I think the word applicant should be capitalized in some instances) and every time I generate a document I have to go in and make the changes. It would be nice to be able to have the forms homed on our system so that they could be edited on the master so I didn't have to make the changes every time.

Reason for choosing Estateably

Reasons for switching to Estateably

I hated Estate-a-Base. It was very limited and confusing.

I like using this program.

PROS

The product is easy to use and is intuitive.

CONS

I also use Automated Civil Litigation software with other law firms. ACL has the option to download all documents required for a certain task. Estateably has the choice of checklists -- I would like to see the option to download all of the requisite documents required for probate applications, rather than hunting and pecking or it.

Amazing Customer Support

Estateably was an easy switch for our firm. I can't say enough about the customer support! The response time is quick and with thorough explanations.

PROS

The software is user-friendly, reasonably priced and has the most amazing customer support - better than I have experienced with any other software.

CONS

I would like the List of Original Assets to provide a date of death value and closing date value.

Reasons for switching to Estateably

Estate-a-base became too expensive. Don't regret making the switch as Estateably is much easier to use and saves more time!

Very Streamline Product - Easy to Use

Great experience - the support staff is extremely responsive which is crucial for this type of software. The software is customizable to use your own template letters etc..

PROS

I love that the software is web-based, versatile, customizable and easy to learn. Estateably made it very easy to switch from our former software and we are very pleased with the product.

CONS

Takes a little getting used to -- in order to know the back-end and how you answer certain questions will affect the outcome on the forms. But it's very easy to go back and change/figure out.

Reason for choosing Estateably

Web-based and easier to try it out.

Reasons for switching to Estateably

Cost-effective, web-based, more versatile software that provides the forms in Word format.

High regards

Excellent - super quick response from customer service in assisting in all questions and requests for changes to documents.

PROS

The features were all encompassing taking every aspect of estate administration.

CONS

There were some "growing pains" as we worked towards customizing the documents, etc. to our precedents but the support staff was excellent without exception making the process very smooth.

Reasons for switching to Estateably

the cost for Estate-a-base was getting too high and the accounting portion of the program was an additional cost. Switching enabled us to customize the new program to our own documents from the ground up.

Easy to use

PROS

We started using the program earlier this year and right away the ease of use was noticeable compared to our last estate software. The customer service has been great and has helped us to customize some of the features for our firm. If we ever have any questions we are able to speak with an Estateably agent in a timely manner.

CONS

At this time, I think the only improvement could be a chat help text box. Sometimes my question may be small and doesn't require a zoom meeting to address.

Seamless Workflow Platform

I mainly utilize estateably for full probate administration. Estate settlements are completed with ease owing the ease of digitizing the relevant probate forms and financial information.

PROS

Software is very user-friendly, FAQ section provides clarity and customer service response quick and professional.

As a relatively new user I did not experience any negatives with the software thus far.

The ease and efficiency use of the Estateably Program is excellent

PROS

Entering date into the program in order to generate probate/estate forms works efficiently and smoothly!

CONS

I have no issues or cons to records to date.

Reasons for switching to Estateably

Cost and in Estateably, all forms can be saved and worked on in WORD. The other program did not have that feature for some of the forms.

Estateably is user-friendly but not perfect

Positive.

PROS

I use the probate application forms most often- I like that it makes it faster/easier to prepare forms.

CONS

Sometimes it prepopulates forms with incorrect information- the problem then repeats throughout the forms. Sometimes these errors result in probate applications being returned, thereby delaying probate. I also wished that it made suggestions and/or used templates- ie. if the intake section reveals that the estate falls within the small estate limits, it should only offer small estate relevant forms/prepopulate accordingly. Similarly, if I indicate that I am going to be using an estimated value, it should suggest the necessary forms that I will need to include in the probate application.

Erica Prout - Estateably review

Estateably makes the probate process so much more efficient by taking you step by step to fill out all the information you need

PROS

All the forms that you need to submit to the court are easily accessible and I like that the software fills it out for you.

CONS

Overall it works really well, sometimes the Will is hard to upload and that can be a bit of a challenge.

A true Game Changer

In 2022 I completed an application for appointment of estate trustee Truth be told, I could NOT have done this without your software and your guidance. You have a truly wonderful product, and it is worth the cost- every penny! It would be great if I had more estate administration files to work with BUT your software helped a lone wolf on at least one occasion. Sincere thanks and best wishes. Rickland Carleton

PROS

It directed me to information and procedures I might otherwise have missed.

CONS

Nothin not to like. As with everything, there is a learning curve but support folks helped a great deal and were very patient.
