You're personally responsible
Every decision you make as executor is yours to defend. If a beneficiary ever disputes one, the question will be whether you can show your reasoning.
Solutions · For Executors
You're the executor.
You're the executor.
This is your playbook.
The will names you. The court holds you personally responsible. And the only instruction — “divide everything equally” — comes with no mechanism for actually doing it. Celestial Divide gives you the whole path: the inventory, private valuations from every beneficiary, a fair division blueprint, deadlines, notices, and a record you can defend.

The job
It's a bigger job
It's a bigger job
than anyone tells you.
The court has a clock
Inventories, notices, and filings all have deadlines — whether or not anyone told you about them. Missing one isn't a paperwork problem; it's your problem.
"Divide everything equally." Nobody said how.
A house can't be split three ways. The cabin means more to one sibling than another. The will gives the goal — it doesn't give the mechanism.
You're also the family glue
You're expected to keep siblings informed, calm, and speaking to each other when it's over — and most people attempt it with a spreadsheet and a folder of email threads.
The math
Do the math before
Do the math before
you hand the estate off.
Hiring out the administration doesn't buy a different outcome. It buys hours — billed against the inheritance.
The professional route
2–4% of the estate
- Attorney time commonly billed at $400–500/hour
- On a $1–5M estate, that's often $30,000–$100,000+ in combined fees
- You still gather the documents, answer the emails, and referee the family
The DIY route, with a system
From $19 per month
- Every step of settlement in one place — inventory through final distribution
- A patent-pending fairness engine that answers "who gets what" defensibly
- The difference stays in the estate — where it belongs

The whole journey, mapped.
We help you through the harder middle part.
Settling an estate runs from the courthouse to the final tax return. Celestial Divide carries everything in between. The two legal bookends stay with your attorney — who gets a cleaner file from you than they've ever received.
1 · Get appointed
Letters of authority from the probate court.
and the court
2 · Build the inventory
Every asset in one list — the house, the business, brokerage accounts, IRAs, heirlooms.
3 · Gather private valuations
Each beneficiary values every asset from their own private portal.
4 · Divide fairly
The fairness engine turns everyone's valuations into the division blueprint.
5 · Administer and distribute
Track sales, payouts, and cash on hand — notices keep every beneficiary informed.
6 · Close the estate
Final filings and taxes.
with a clean file from you
This is estate-settlement software, not a law firm. For contested estates or complex legal questions, bring in a probate attorney — steps 1 and 6 are theirs anyway.

How it works
The whole job, from appointment to closing
From the day you're appointed to the day the estate closes — here's the path, and what the platform does at each step.
01
Build the inventory
Every asset in one list — the house, vehicles, heirlooms, the family business, brokerage accounts, IRAs and 401(k)s. Most tools stop at the furniture. This one doesn't.
02
Invite the beneficiaries
Each heir gets their own private portal to state what every asset is worth to them — privately, without a family meeting, without anyone anchoring anyone else.
03
Run the fairness engine
When everyone has weighed in, the patent-pending solver turns those private valuations into a division blueprint — who gets what, and why it's fair to each person in their own eyes.
04
Distribute with a roadmap
Work the blueprint: track what's been sold, what's been distributed, and how much cash is on hand. Beneficiaries see the progress, so nobody has to ask what's taking so long.
05
Stay ahead of the court
Deadlines, milestones, and reminders for your state's filing requirements — inventories, notices, and closings — so nothing about the legal side sneaks up on you.
06
Close it out
Final distribution statements and executor reports, ready to share with the family or file with the court — and a complete record of every decision, start to finish.
The fairness engine
Your family's unfair advantage
"Divide everything equally" is a goal, not a plan. At the core of Celestial Divide is an optimization engine built on envy-free division — the branch of mathematics devoted to splitting things people care about. It weighs what each person values, then finds the division. That's the plan.
01
Sentiment counts
Because valuations are private and personal, the division reflects what things actually mean to each person — not just the appraisals.
02
Fair in everyone's own eyes
The engine works toward a division where no one would trade their share for someone else's — fairness measured through each person's own valuations.
03
Built for real estates
Homes with mortgages, businesses, brokerage accounts, IRAs and 401(k)s — a pre-tax dollar and a house dollar aren't the same, and the engine knows it.
04
Defensible
Every input and every result is documented. If anyone ever asks "why did she get the house?", the answer is already written down.
The judgment stays with you. The computation — valuations, equalization math, debt offsets — is handled,
checked, and documented.
The other half of the job
Settle the estate.
Settle the estate.
Keep the family.
Most estate fights don't start with greed. They start with silence — months where nobody knows what's been sold, where the money went, or when it ends. Celestial Divide keeps everyone informed by default.
Everyone sees where it stands
Beneficiaries see cash on hand, what's been sold, and what's been distributed — the same numbers you see.
Updates without the email chain
Notices go out from the system, so keeping people informed doesn't depend on you writing five identical emails.
Side conversations end quietly
When everyone works from the same numbers, there's nothing left to speculate about — and nothing to fight over.
You stay the person who held it together —
not the one who went quiet for a year.
What you get
One system for the whole job
The full inventory
Property, businesses, brokerage accounts, IRAs, 401(k)s, vehicles, and heirlooms — unlimited assets and beneficiaries, with CSV upload.
Private portals and valuations
Every beneficiary gets their own space to review the estate and value assets privately — no anchoring, no group negotiation.
The fairness engine and blueprint
The patent-pending solver evaluates every permutation and produces a division blueprint with the reasoning attached.
Distribution tracking
Sales, payouts, and cash on hand tracked as you work the plan — with beneficiary notices and status updates built in.
Deadlines and milestones
Tracking and reminders for court requirements — inventories, notices, and closings — so the legal side never sneaks up on you.
Reports and the record
Executor and beneficiary reports ready to share or file, plus a documented audit trail of every decision, start to finish.
