SRA-compliant probate administration
ExecutorOS is the compliance-first probate platform for law firms. Full audit trails, automated SRA reporting, and a client portal that turns transparency into your competitive advantage.
The compliance gap
Most firms run probate on a patchwork of spreadsheets, shared drives, and email chains. It works until it doesn't. When the SRA asks for a complete file history, that patchwork falls apart.
ExecutorOS replaces the patchwork with a single, auditable system purpose-built for the regulatory reality of probate administration.
No audit trail for client account movements, file decisions, or supervision evidence. One complaint triggers a full investigation.
Clients call because they have no visibility. Every call is non-billable time, and every unanswered one is a complaint waiting to happen.
Notification letters typed from scratch. IHT forms hand-calculated. Hours lost per case, per week.
Built for regulatory scrutiny
Every action, every decision, every client interaction. Immutable, timestamped, and exportable on demand.
Every case action is logged with timestamp, user, and context. Who opened it, what changed, what was approved.
Supervisor reviews, approvals, and overrides are first-class records. Timestamped proof of supervision.
Every message, update, and document sent through the client portal is recorded and evidenced.
Statutory deadlines tracked automatically. Gazette notices, HMRC submissions, with escalation alerts.
Asset valuations, liability confirmations, and distribution payments. Every pound accounted for.
Full case history exportable as PDF or CSV. Regulator-ready reports generated in seconds.
The client portal
Your clients log in and see exactly where their case stands. They upload documents, enter asset details, and track progress themselves. No phone calls. Demonstrable client care, automatically evidenced.
Death registered, certificates ordered
7 institutions contacted. All responses received.
Gross estate: £487,200. IHT205 submitted.
Application submitted. Expected grant: mid-March.
Begins once grant is received.
Estate accounts prepared, beneficiaries paid.
Clients add assets, flag debts, and enter beneficiary details through their portal. Your team reviews and approves.
Every portal login, every message read, every document viewed is logged. Timestamped proof clients were kept informed.
You decide what clients can see and do. Submitted data goes through review before it touches the case record.
“The number one complaint we get from clients is 'nobody told me what was happening.' A portal that logs every interaction doesn't just improve service. It protects the firm.”
