Inspired by a co-founder's difficult experience handling a parent's passing, the digital platform combines real human support with software to guide grieving families through the overwhelming 12-to-18-month paperwork maze—including finding hidden assets, filing court documents, and sorting out complex estate taxes. Operating across Canada and parts of the U.S., ClearEstate is designed to be affordable by charging a flat 1% fee with no minimum asset requirements. The platform is expanding its reach by introducing upgraded tools for financial advisors and conversational AI workflows, making it easier for regular people to navigate end-of-life planning and settlement without paying massive legal fees. This episode is a must-listen for anyone named an executor of a will, as well as financial planners looking for a digital tool to guide their clients through the stressful probate and estate-planning process.
