What this template is for

Most people do not need fancy accounting words. They need a clean way to keep estate money separate from personal money.

This template helps you save the records people may ask for later, like family, a lawyer, or an accountant.

How to use it

Add each money move once. Pick the right bucket right away. Save the proof while it is easy to find.

If you start in a spreadsheet, keep the columns simple so you can move the same list into Estate Metrics later.

  • One row for each money move
  • Show who paid first and who should get paid back
  • Add a note when something looks unusual

FAQ

Can I use this instead of formal probate accounting?

Use it to stay organized. Final court papers may still need their own format.

When should I move beyond a spreadsheet?

When the estate needs more than math. Once receipts, reimbursements, explanations, cleanup decisions, and reviewers all need to stay tied to the same record, a sheet starts to fall apart.
