Frequently Asked Questions

Does Settled cover my state?
Settled (settledestate.com) currently covers Florida, California, Texas, and Ohio only — 467 counties across 4 states. If your estate is in any other state, Settled isn't an option. SwiftProbate covers all 50 states plus DC, with 3,200+ county-level probate guides.
How is SwiftProbate different at $39 vs Settled at $19?
Settled's $19 buys a personalized PDF/document — a one-time output. SwiftProbate's $39 buys an end-to-end tool: an AI-generated checklist that updates as your situation changes, document management, family collaboration, deadline tracking, and Grace, our 24/7 AI assistant. They're different products at different price points.
Does Settled have an AI chat assistant?
No. Settled is primarily a content site with a paid PDF generator. SwiftProbate includes Grace, an AI chat assistant available 24/7 to answer questions, walk you through tasks, and help fill out probate forms.
Which is better for a first-time executor?
If your estate is in FL, CA, TX, or OH and you only want a starting reference, Settled's free guides are a fine entry point. For most executors — especially in the other 46 states, or anyone who wants an ongoing tool with personalization, AI guidance, and document management — SwiftProbate is the more complete option.
