Settle shows an executor deadlines and required steps for their state. Every one of those is built from a published statute, court rule or state agency page. This page lists all of them, with a link to the source and the date we last read it — so you can check us.
51 of the 123 claims below carry a citation we recorded from a secondary source but have not yet read against the primary statute text ourselves. They are marked. We could have published only the 72 we have read, and the page would have looked better — but it would have implied the rest were checked too, which is exactly the impression an executor should not be given about a court deadline.
No state's content has been reviewed by a licensed attorney. The app says so at the top of every plan, and it is repeated here so nobody has to open the app to find out. Settle is an organizational tool, not a law firm, and none of this is legal advice. Confirm anything you are about to act on with the probate court or an attorney in your state.
Please tell us — this is the most useful thing a user can do for the next executor. In the app, open the step and tap "This doesn't match what I was told" under its source panel; it writes to us with the step and the citation already attached. Or email support@vertexlabsolutions.com. If the court or your attorney gave you a different date, tell us that — it is the fastest way to get it fixed for everyone.

No statutory percentage: the court allows compensation that is "reasonable and just" and may calculate it on a graduated percentage.
