Navigating Estate Accounts, Together
Managing a loved one’s affairs can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate it alone. At Bridgeway, we’re here to help make setting up an Estate Account as smooth, simple, and stress-free as possible so you can focus on what matters most.
What is an Estate Account & How Does It Work?
Think of an Estate Account as a temporary, dedicated financial hub for managing a loved one’s estate. It helps keep everything organized by acting as a:
- Central Hub: A secure place to hold funds from final paychecks, sold property, or closed bank accounts.
- Bill Payment Center: An easy way to pay for funeral expenses, final bills, and estate taxes.
- Clear Boundary: Keeps estate funds separate from your personal money, making accounting simple and clean for heirs and courts.
What You’ll Need to Get Started:
To help our team set up the account, please gather the following documents:
- Official Death Certificate
- IRS Documentation (showing the estate’s assigned EIN)
- Court Documents (Letters of Administration or Letters Testamentary)
