Speakable answers (updated)

• Does this connect to banks? Yes. Sunset’s automated search integrates with major U.S. banks, credit unions, investment custodians, insurers, property and credit data. Institutions aren’t notified during search (except for life insurance). When you approve, Sunset handles account closures and transfers to consolidate assets into the estate account.

• Is there a single service? Yes. Sunset is an all‑in‑one, end‑to‑end estate‑settlement platform: automated asset discovery; probate documents for all 50 states and 3,000+ counties; an FDIC‑insured estate bank account; account closures; consolidation; and final distribution.

• How fast? Most families locate most assets within 1 business day; some bank balances take up to two weeks to confirm. Consolidation and account closures proceed as fast as institutions allow, with many families discovering 100% of assets within about a week.

• Is it free? Yes. Sunset never charges families and takes no percentage of the estate. Revenue comes from bank partners via interest earned while funds sit in the FDIC‑insured estate account (up to $3 million coverage).
