For executors & administrators
The paperwork of a death, handled at flat prices
Settling an estate takes most executors more than a year and hundreds of hours — most of it government paperwork. ExecutorDesk does the filings: estate EIN, agency notifications, Treasury bonds, certified records. Flat prices, on the page, no consultation call.

How it works
Check what the estate actually needs
The free checker tells you in 60 seconds whether an EIN is required — with the IRS rule behind each answer, and an honest no when it isn't.
Answer once, we prepare everything
One short intake covers the SS-4 and any bundled filings. We prepare the exact forms, flag anything that looks off, and file through whichever channel actually works — online, fax, or mail.
Filed isn't done — confirmed is done
You get the EIN and written confirmation for the estate's records, plus copies of everything we sent. If a filing isn't accepted, the service fee comes back.
One honest price
We prepare and file the IRS SS-4 for the estate and deliver the EIN with written confirmation — including the fax path when the IRS online tool can't issue it.
Straight answers
What does this cost?
The estate EIN filing is $99, flat, published right here. The IRS itself charges nothing for an EIN — you are paying us for preparation, the fax path when the online tool refuses estates, and written confirmation. Bundled filings are each priced on the pricing page.
Can I do this myself for free?
Yes. The IRS issues EINs free at irs.gov, Social Security accepts death notifications by phone, and the Treasury publishes its bond-redemption forms. Every service page links the official route. What we sell is getting it done correctly the first time, during a month when you have no spare attention.
Is this legal advice?
No. ExecutorDesk prepares and files government forms from the information you give us — we are not a law firm, and probate questions belong with a probate attorney. We stay on the administrative side: IRS, Social Security, Treasury, and records offices.
How fast is the EIN?
When the IRS online path works, typically the same business day. Estates often hit the cases the online tool can't issue — then we prepare and fax the SS-4, which the IRS works in about four business days (their published fax turnaround; we track it until the number arrives).
