Frequently asked questions

We have put together some commonly asked questions

How does Sunset work?

Sunset automates the estate settlement process by finding all existing financial accounts and helping you access them to get a clear financial picture on the estate, then taking all the necessary steps to settle an estate such as asset inventory, beneficiary designation, and distribution planning. The executor or administrator on the estate can invite beneficiaries and others to participate in updates and notifications by joining the app.
