The Estate Accounts Toolkit for Executors is designed to help you keep an organised financial record of an estate throughout the administration process — not just at the very end.
 
Record assets, money received, debts and expenses, gifts, beneficiary payments and estate cash as you go. The workbook performs the arithmetic for you, highlights missing or inconsistent information, helps you reconcile the estate money and calculates beneficiary amounts from the shares you enter.
 
When you are ready, it also produces clear, structured estate accounts from the information you have recorded.
 
What’s included
The Estate Accounts Toolkit Excel workbook
A detailed step-by-step User Guide
A fully completed Worked Example
Built-in checks to highlight missing information and inconsistencies
Cash reconciliation
Residuary beneficiary calculations based on the shares you enter
Draft, pre-distribution and final estate-account stages
 
Designed for ordinary executors
You do not need to be an accountant or spreadsheet expert. The toolkit uses a simple colour-coded layout, dropdowns, clear prompts and protected calculations so you can focus on entering the estate information.
 
Use it throughout the administration
Start with the estate’s assets and date-of-death values, then update the workbook as assets are sold or transferred, money is received, expenses are paid and beneficiaries receive distributions. Your estate accounts build as you go.
 
For estates in England & Wales.
 
This toolkit is a record-keeping, arithmetic, reconciliation and document-preparation tool. It does not provide legal, tax, accounting or financial advice and does not determine tax liabilities or legal beneficiary entitlements.
