    FAQ

    Frequently Asked Questions About Estate Settlement & Probate

    What should I do first when someone dies?

    In the first 24–48 hours, focus on four things: have the death legally pronounced, contact a funeral home, notify immediate family members, and secure the person's home. Omuna walks you through each step in order — plus handles obituary writing, notifications, and estate paperwork — so nothing gets missed.

    Is Omuna really free?

    Yes. Everything — the guided checklist, estate settlement guides, obituary writer, memorial pages, and notification tools — is completely free. No credit card required. We believe families shouldn't have to pay to know what to do next.

    How many tasks are involved after someone dies?

    Most families face 100+ tasks spread across legal, financial, and personal categories — from ordering death certificates and filing for probate, to closing bank accounts and notifying Social Security. Omuna organizes all of them into four manageable phases.

    Do I need a lawyer to settle an estate?

    Not always. Many estates can be settled without an attorney, especially if there's a clear will and limited assets. Omuna's plain-language guides help you understand probate, executor duties, and when professional help is worth it.

    What is probate and do I need to go through it?

    Probate is the court process that validates a will and authorizes the executor to distribute assets. Whether you need it depends on your state, the estate's size, and how assets are titled. Our Probate 101 guide explains it without the legal jargon.

    Can I share the checklist with family members?

    Yes. You can invite family members or trusted friends to your checklist and hand off specific tasks. No single person should have to carry all of it.

    How is Omuna different from a generic death checklist?

    PDF checklists give you a static list. Omuna is a full platform: a guided task manager that tracks your progress across probate, estate settlement, and benefits; an obituary writer; a memorial page builder; a notification tool; and a library of plain-language guides — all in one place, all free.
