Same matter — a professional reviews inside your workflow.

Built for the way you work.

One platform, two jobs. Firms standardize fiduciary accounting across a practice; individual fiduciaries prepare a single accounting with as much help as the matter needs.

For professional firms

Standardize fiduciary accounting across your practice.

Accounting firms, law firms, professional fiduciaries, and trust companies — run every matter the same way, with the controls, collaboration, and multi-matter infrastructure a practice needs.

  • Multi-matter workflows, roles, and review
  • Client portal and document requests
  • Add accounting capacity without handing off the work
For individual fiduciaries

Prepare the accounting, with help when you need it.

Executors, administrators, trustees, guardians, and conservators — start with the records you already have, let software and AI organize the work, and bring in a professional when the accounting gets difficult.

  • Guided from your records to a filed accounting
  • AI assistance that explains what needs attention
  • Expert Review as a safety net

Statement activity becomes a reviewable ledger.

ProbateBee reads every statement and turns raw transactions into a categorized ledger — receipts, disbursements, transfers, and fees — with each line still linked to the page it came from.

  • Activity is categorized into fiduciary schedules automatically
  • Internal transfers and duplicates are detected across accounts
  • Every entry keeps a link back to its source statement page

Reconcile every account, then review only what doesn’t tie out.

ProbateBee matches ledger activity to each statement’s ending balance and isolates the exceptions — unmatched transfers, duplicates, and uncategorized items — so your time goes to the judgment calls.

Client portal

Ask the client. The answer lands in the matter.

Send the executor or trustee a question, a document request, or an approval. They answer in a simple portal, and the reply comes back to the matter for your review instead of your inbox.

  • Questions, document requests, and approvals in one place
  • Clients can photograph paper with their phone
  • Nothing is accepted until you review it

Bank feeds

Bank activity arrives daily. Nothing posts without you.

Connect the estate's bank accounts, or let the client connect them from the portal for your approval. Balances and transactions sync daily, so work can start before the statement arrives, and every entry made from the feed keeps its source.

  • Client connections wait for your approval
  • Balances and transactions sync daily
  • Nothing posts to the ledger on its own

The schedules you file, generated from the reconciled ledger.

Receipts, disbursements, gains, and distributions flow into the court schedules — Summary of Account through property on hand — ready to review and file.

Fiduciary accounting follows rules general-purpose tools don’t.

ProbateBee applies them as it builds the ledger and the schedules, so the accounting is correct before anyone reviews it.

Principal vs. income
Receipts and disbursements are allocated between principal and income under your state’s rules.
Cost basis and gains
Basis is carried per lot, so realized gains and losses are correct on every sale.
Inter-account transfers
Both sides of a transfer are matched, so moving money never overstates receipts or disbursements.
Carrying value and fair value
Assets are reported at both carrying value and current market value.
Distributions
Distributions to beneficiaries carry through to the schedule of distributions.
Fiduciary fees and commissions
Commissions, attorney fees, and paid-from-corpus expenses post to principal or income correctly.

The hard matters get a fiduciary accountant, not a support ticket.

Finish routine accountings yourself. For the ones that don’t reconcile, send the open items for professional review and get a completed accounting back — in the same system.

01
Flag what won’t tie out

Send the transactions, transfers, or positions that don’t reconcile for professional review.

02
A fiduciary accountant works it

An expert resolves the exceptions and completes the schedules.

03
It returns ready to file

The finished accounting comes back in your matter, with source documents attached.

Estate data stays protected, and every change stays on the record.

ProbateBee holds account and document data with encryption and per-matter isolation, and keeps a complete history of who changed what — so the accounting withstands scrutiny.

Per-matter isolation
Each matter’s data is walled off; only the people assigned to it have access.
Encrypted end to end
Account and document data is encrypted in transit and at rest.
Complete change history
Every edit is logged with who made it and when.
Your data stays yours
Export the full accounting and its supporting documents whenever you need them.

Pricing that fits how you work.

What does ProbateBee do?

It turns bank and brokerage statements into court-ready fiduciary accountings — ingestion, categorization, reconciliation, and the final schedules — rather than general matter administration.

Is this just AI extraction?

No. Extraction is the first step. The work is the review, reconciliation of cash and holdings, transfer matching, and keeping every figure traceable to its source page.

Which matters is it built for?

Estates, trusts, and conservatorships — document-heavy accountings that have to reconcile and hold up to beneficiary or court review.

Do I have to review every transaction?

No. Routine activity moves through automatically; ProbateBee surfaces the exceptions that need your judgment.

What if a matter is messy or incomplete?

Missing periods, unmatched transfers, and out-of-balance positions are surfaced explicitly, and difficult matters can be sent for professional review.

Can I trace the final accounting back to support?

Yes. Every material figure links to the source document it came from, so beneficiary and court follow-up is fast to answer.
