First Documents to Gather After a Death

A focused document list can make the first legal review more productive.

Start with the structure

Common starting documents include the death certificate, original will, trust and amendments, deeds, recent account statements, beneficiary designations, tax returns, insurance information, debt statements, and contact information for close family members.

Practical next step

Do not alter original documents. Keep a simple log of property, mail, bills, and communications while legal authority is being evaluated.
