About AnnCare

The Help You Didn't Know You Needed

Executor Assistant
After a loved one passes, you're left grieving and drowning in a mountain of tasks: account closures, insurance paperwork, Social Security notifications, endless phone calls.

Instead of mourning, you're filling out forms you’ve never seen, waiting on hold for hours, and worried you'll miss something important. It's exhausting. It's confusing. And it’s not what you want to be focused on right now.

Most families say the same thing: “I don’t even know where to start.” If that’s you, you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out yourself.

In just three weeks, everything changed. A beloved aunt, like a second mother to our founders, was placed on hospice with two weeks to live. They immediately flew from Seattle to Columbus to be by her side.

After she passed, the grief was expected. What wasn’t? The avalanche of paperwork, phone calls, and administrative tasks that followed. It was exhausting, confusing, and relentless.

With backgrounds in marketing operations and technical consulting, they kept thinking: There has to be a better way.

That moment sparked AnnCare.

Built from firsthand experience, AnnCare exists to lift the administrative burden families face after a loss. From executor checklists and fraud protection to pre-filled letters, account closures, and estate follow-through—we guide families through what comes next.

Blending compassionate service with practical systems, AnnCare steps in so you're not left facing a mountain of paperwork alone.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why AnnCare?

Most people have never handled the administrative side of death before and even if they have, it’s not something you want to go through alone. It’s complex. It’s time-consuming. And it’s happening during one of the hardest moments of yourlife .Meanwhile, this is what we do every day. We know who to call, what to say, and how to cut through the red tape. You don’t have to sit on hold for hours with Social Security or a bank. We’ll do that for you. And because we’re not in grief, we can move faster, with a clearer head. We save you time, energy, and reduce the risk of missing something important, like unclaimed spousal benefits or forgotten accounts.

Is this just for executors, or can anyone use it?

Executors use us most often, but anyone dealing with the aftermath of a loss can benefit. Adult children, spouses, or even close friends often take on these tasks. If you’re handling the paperwork, we’re here to lighten the load—regardless of your official title.

What kind of tasks can AnnCare help with? 

Once we get started, we’ll hop on an onboarding call with you (and anyone else you’d like involved). We’ll walk through everything that needs to be done, create a customized checklist, and then take the lead.

We help with the administrative work that comes after a loss—things like notifying banks and credit card companies, closing accounts, submitting forms, claiming benefits, and protecting against identity theft. We don’t provide legal advice, but we do take care of the everyday tasks most people aren’t prepared for.

How quickly can you start?

We can usually begin within 1-3 business days. Once you connect with us, we’ll assign a specialist and get your intake started right away. If it’s time-sensitive, let us know—we’ll prioritize accordingly.

Can I get started if I don't have the death certificate yet?

Yes. We can begin most of the paperwork and prep right away. Once the death certificates arrive, we’ll have everything lined up and ready to file, which saves you time and keeps things moving.

Do I still need a lawyer?

You might, depending on your situation. AnnCare focuses on the non-legal side of estate work—handling the calls, paperwork, and notifications that often fall between the cracks. Many of our clients work with an attorney and us. We complement their legal support by managing the time-consuming admin no one else handles.

What if I've already started the process on my own?

That’s totally fine. We can step in at any stage—whether you’ve already made a few calls or you’re deep into it and feeling overwhelmed. Our team will assess what’s done, what’s left, and take the rest off your plate.

I already have an attorney-do I still need AnnCare?

Yes, and many law firms actually refer their clients to us. We don’t replace your attorney but act as an extension of their team to complement them. Attorneys handle legal matters. We handle everything else: account closures, notifications, benefit claims, even utility cancellations. If a law firm tried to do it all, the cost would skyrocket. We’re the practical, hands-on team that fills in the gaps.

How does AnnCare protect my personal information?

Your privacy is everything to us. We never permanently store or sell your personal data. We work with leading cyber security engineers to protect your data. All systems use single sign on and multi-factor authentication where possible. We use a single platform system to reduce our risks while ensure data is secure and HIPPA compliant. Sensitive information like Social Security numbers, account information, etc.  is also automatically deleted from our system once your case is closed.

We also help families remove the deceased’s name from marketing lists using DMAchoice.org, which helps prevent spam. Additionally, we notify credit bureuas which significantly improves fraud protection.

What if something goes wrong or I'm not happy with the service?

We stand behind everything we do with a satisfaction guarantee. If we don’t meet your expectations or lighten your load the way we promised, we'll offer you a full refund. No fine print—just our commitment to helping you get through one of lifes toughest moments.

How long does the process take?

It depends on the complexity of the estate, but most families see significant progress within the first two weeks. Some tasks resolve quickly, while others (like insurance claims or government notifications) take a bit more time. We keep you updated as we move through everything.

Are there things AnnCare doesn't cover?

Yes. While we'd like to cover it all, we do our best to stay in our lane as well. AnnCare doesn’t provide legal, tax, or financial planning advice. If something comes up that falls outside our scope, we can introduce you to a vetted professional who can help.
