FAQs
About ClearEstate

What is ClearEstate?

ClearEstate is a tech company that offers a one-stop-shop platform for estate planning and settlement. Our state-of-the-art technology allows us to offer different flat-fee plans for estate planning and settlement at a fraction of the cost.

We are now supporting all Canadian jurisdictions as well as some jurisdictions in the United States including California, Arizona, Nevada, New York, Tennessee and Texas.

Our Customer Service Specialists are available to help you navigate the platform, if needed.

How was ClearEstate born?

Alex, one of ClearEstate’s co-founders, had a lightbulb moment after his mother passed away in 2019, and he had to deal with her estate.

During this very difficult period that he was going through, he was even more frustrated by all the red tape he was encountering for estate settlement. He couldn’t understand why he had to submit the same information multiple times and how agencies didn’t share this information amongst themselves. Right then and there, he knew there had to be a better way and ClearEstate was born.

What does ClearEstate not offer?

Legal Advice (i.e. Litigation) and financial advice.

For most cases, legal advice won't be required. However, if during the 30 minute free consultation we identify a complex need in your client's situation, we can connect them with the relevant professional.

Why do you say that ClearEstate helps with efficiency?

Estate settlement involves repetition of tasks and recording of repetitive information in forms. We have solved this problem through our technology and will only ask your client to enter the information once. That way they can focus their time and energy on spending time with their loved ones.
