Last updated: Feb 28, 2026

1. Purpose of This Site

Executor Checklists (executorchecklists.com) is an independent informational website created to help individuals understand the administrative process of settling an estate. The site is authored and operated by Morgan Pierce, an estate administration coordinator.

All articles, guides, checklists, templates, and other materials published on this site are intended solely to provide general educational information about estate administration. They are not tailored to any individual’s specific circumstances, jurisdiction, or legal needs.

Important: Reading this website does not create any professional relationship — attorney-client, financial advisor-client, or otherwise — between you and Executor Checklists or its operator.

2. No Professional Advice

The content on this website does not constitute and should not be relied upon as:

  • Legal advice — We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice, legal opinions, or legal representation of any kind.
  • Tax advice — Nothing on this site should be interpreted as tax guidance or as a substitute for advice from a qualified tax professional or CPA.
  • Financial advice — Content discussing assets, investments, or estate finances is informational only and does not constitute investment or financial planning advice.
  • Accounting advice — References to accounting practices, valuations, or probate accounting are general in nature and are not a substitute for a certified accountant’s guidance.
  • Medical or psychological advice — Any references to grief, bereavement, or well-being are editorial in nature only.

You should always seek the advice of a qualified, licensed professional — such as an attorney, CPA, or financial advisor — before making any decisions related to estate administration, probate, taxes, or asset management.

3. Accuracy of Information

We make every reasonable effort to ensure that the information published on this site is accurate, current, and complete at the time of publication. However, laws, regulations, probate procedures, and government agency requirements change frequently and vary significantly by jurisdiction.

What We Cannot Guarantee

  • That information is up to date as of the date you read it
  • That content accurately reflects the laws of your specific state, province, or country
  • That checklists or templates are complete or appropriate for your estate’s circumstances
  • That deadlines, fee schedules, or procedural requirements referenced on this site remain current

Always verify procedural and legal information directly with the relevant court, government agency, or licensed professional before taking action. Do not rely solely on any content from this website for time-sensitive legal or financial matters.

4. Jurisdiction & Local Law

Estate law, probate procedures, inheritance taxes, and executor duties differ considerably between countries, states, and even counties. Content on this site is written primarily with reference to general U.S. estate administration practices and may not be applicable outside the United States.

References to specific states are illustrative only. We do not guarantee that information is accurate for your jurisdiction. Always confirm procedures and requirements with a local probate court or licensed attorney practicing in your area.

5. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Executor Checklists and its operator, Morgan Pierce, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your access to or use of this website or reliance on any information contained herein.

This includes, without limitation, errors or omissions in content, loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of using the site, and any interruption or cessation of service. Your use of this site is entirely at your own risk.

6. External Links & Resources

Our guides may include links to third-party websites, including government portals, court websites, professional directories, legal aid organizations, and commercial services. These links are provided for convenience and informational purposes only.

  • We do not control the content, accuracy, or availability of external websites.
  • The inclusion of a link does not constitute an endorsement or recommendation of that site, its operators, or its content.
  • Once you leave executorchecklists.com, this disclaimer and our Privacy Policy no longer apply.
  • We encourage you to review the terms and privacy policies of any external site you visit.

7. Affiliate & Referral Disclosure

Some pages on this site contain affiliate links. This means that if you click a link and subsequently make a purchase or sign up for a service, Executor Checklists may receive a small commission at no additional cost to you.
