Most people have never handled the administrative side of death before and even if they have, it’s not something they want to go through alone. It’s complex. It’s time-consuming. And it’s happening during one of the hardest moments of their life. Meanwhile, this is what we do every day. We know who to call, what to say, and how to cut through the red tape. Families don’t have to sit on hold for hours with Social Security or a bank. We’ll do that for them. And because we’re not in grief, we can move faster, with a clearer head. We save families time, energy, and reduce the risk of missing something important, like unclaimed spousal benefits or forgotten accounts.
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. We’re here to lighten the load, regardless of official title.
Once we get started, we’ll hop on an onboarding call with the family. 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.
We can usually begin within 1-3 business days. Once the family connects with us, we’ll assign a specialist and get their intake started right away. If it’s time-sensitive, let us know; we’ll prioritize accordingly.
Yes. We can begin most of prep work right away. Once the death certificates arrive, we’ll have everything lined up and ready to file, which saves time and keeps things moving.
Families might, depending on the 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.
That’s totally fine. We can step in at any stage, whether they' already made a few calls or they're deep into it and feeling overwhelmed. Our team will assess what’s done, what’s left, and take the rest off their plate.
Yes, and many law firms actually refer their clients to us. We don’t replace an 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.
Privacy is everything to us. We never permanently store or sell personal data. We work with leading cyber security engineers to protect sensitive 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 each 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.
We stand behind everything we do with a satisfaction guarantee. If we don’t meet family expectations or lighten the workload in the way we promised, we'll offer a full refund. No fine print. This is our commitment to helping families get through one of lifes toughest moments.
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 families updated as we move through everything.
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 our clients to a vetted professional who can help.
