After a death there’s a stretch of admin no will can cover — the frozen account, the super sitting in a separate trust, Centrelink’s 28-day clock, probate through your state’s Supreme Court. The Aussie Estate Kit is the step-by-step plan for it: what to do, who to notify and in what order, across the first 48 hours, 28 days and 6 months. So your family isn’t left guessing.
Everything you leave behind sits in three separate systems — and no one, not the bank, not the fund, not the government, is in charge of pulling them together for your family. That job lands on the people you love, in the middle of their grief. Here’s the gap —
It names who inherits. But probate, intestacy and family-provision rules change the moment you cross a state line — eight different systems, no national document.
In the kit: where the will is, who the executor is, and the probate path for your state.
Your super doesn’t follow your will. The fund’s trustee decides, unless you have a valid binding death benefit nomination — and those lapse after three years without you knowing.
In the kit: the super & BDBN register — every fund, every nomination, kept current.
A solo account freezes the moment the bank is told; only joint accounts pass to the survivor. The home follows land-title survivorship rules that vary by state.
In the kit: every account listed, how the home is owned, and what to do with each.
They’d work it out eventually — over many stressful months, with a frozen account, a lapsed super nomination and a dozen organisations to ring one by one. They don’t just need your information. They need a plan — what to do, who to notify, and in what order.
It follows the real sequence in Australia — each number a real deadline, not a marketing line — in the order your family will meet it. Each stage tells them exactly what to do next, so no one has to improvise.
The first actions, in order: engage the funeral director (they register the death with your state's Births, Deaths and Marriages), find the will and confirm the executor, order several certified death certificates, and note which accounts are solo and which are joint — before anyone tells the bank.
Tell Centrelink within 28 days if any payment was being received. Use the Australian Death Notification Service once the death certificate arrives, then notify everyone it misses — each super fund, every bank, the ATO, Medicare, insurers and utilities — with a register of every account and ready-to-send letters. And start the super claims: one per fund.
The steps to close the estate: the grant of probate or letters of administration through your state's Supreme Court (with the notice filed 14 days beforehand where required), the date-of-death tax return, debts, the home and distribution — without distributing too early, because in NSW the protected window runs 6 months.
The order never changes — the kit flags where your state or territory differs.

“Absolutely brilliant! The Aussie Estate Kit is so comprehensive and clear. […] Information, while available, is scattered across each and every organisation and business. With The Aussie Estate Kit, it’s all there, with advice about pitfalls, time management, and so on. I’ve done the bulk of my file and will soon have it completed. Then I’ll start on my husband’s. […] Nobody wants to leave a muddle for their loved ones to try to work through.”
“I recently had to deal with a family members passing and it was so difficult from finding the will to then applying for administrator rights. Not knowing where and who things are with made it so complex and tiring. I am looking forward to giving my family members all a copy of this and asking them to fill it out. It’s not about dying. It’s about giving those you love help with the difficult parts of one’s life that we know nothing about.”
I thought I had all the information I needed for my husband or family after I passed away. The Will, Power of Attorney, Enduring Guardian, details for my super and insurance. Then an advisement popped up on Facebook that made me realise there is so much more required than I imagined... a whole process and timeline to follow. I didn’t hesitate to sign up for the Aussie Estate Kit, especially as they have so many great reviews. […] I highly recommend this product.
I could only provide limited support for a family member in 2024 because I only knew some of the processes needed as oultined in the document received. Also a very dear friend had gone through a traumatic series of financial problems after loosing her husband in 2025. I realised I needed a clear list of steps to follow so my family would have less trauma via paperwork when I die. […] I feel more comfortable taking action with the given instructions while I am still alive with a clear mind. Well done & thank you.
I’ve only read it through haven’t applied it yet but it is very comprehensive and well set out and explained. I like the overall framework of the actions allocated to it in terms of timing. It is logical and practical with good detail and no woffle.
It is a very practical and systematic system for taking all the stress from grieving relatives. A will does not solve this. I wish I had had this when my 102 yo mother died.
The kit and guide seem to be very comprehensive. Just gathering the information for myself has shown me how difficult it would be for family to find all the information. Really like all the detailed information about what needs to be done after a death to settle an estate. Gives me peace of mind that my children will have a guide and also will be helpful for me if and when I need to deal with the passing of a relative .
I was able to download almost instantly, which is very refreshing compared to most other purchases that I have made in recent times. There seems to be a lot of very useful information and I look forward to getting everything together for my family follow in the future
The Estate Kit guides and ‘holds your hand’ as you gather all the information your family / executors will need to secure your estate and ready it for dispersing as you wish. It’s easy to follow and comprehensively covers more things than I’d considered. It’s a weight off my mind!
Structured in such a way that computer illiterates like us can follow the prompts and recover things we didn’t know were necessary or even existed. Well designed and well done.
Everything I needed to know about Estate Planning was covered. By following their simple steps I have made everything easier for my relatives when I’m gone. They won’t have to frantically search for wills, bills, accounts, ongoing debits etc because they will know exactly where to find everything.

A will says who inherits. It doesn't cover your super (that sits in a separate trust, outside the will), your joint accounts, or the actual to-do list your family faces — who to notify, in what order and by when, across the 48 hours, 28 days and 6 months that follow a death. This kit is the plan that goes with the will. The two work together.
