Deceased Estate Administration
When you lose someone you care about the grief can be crippling. And then the reality of managing the deceased administration and after death processes sets in.
Did you know?
It takes the average Executor in Australia 200 - 300 hours to fully administer a deceased estate. This equates to up to 6 hours per week over the course of a year, depending on how much time you are able to allocate to the process. Most of this time is spent trying to locate and complete paperwork to close bank accounts, cancel direct debit payments and getting documents certified.
Sage Executor Solutions coordinates and manages the deceased estate administration workload associated with searching, reading, comprehending and decision making when a person dies, saving our clients in excess of 50 hours in precious time and energy.
At Sage Executor Solutions, we strive to provide personalised support to clients based on the principles of empathy, simplicity, expedience, cost effectiveness and the removal of stress commonly experienced with managing after death administration.
Pre-Planning Package
In addition to stepping in to relieve the administrative load for the Executor and Family when a loved one dies, we offer a Pre-Planning for After Death Administration Package.
Together, we will work through the 40+ key considerations around what you can have prepared to minimise the overwhelm of administration ensuring space and capacity to grieve in one of life’s most difficult times.
We will identify the list of items that will need to be administered for your Estate and then deliver a curated DIY Executor’s manual which acts as a roadmap to follow when it comes time to mobilise, saving in excess of 50 hours of administrative burden.
Meet our Founder - Danielle Phillips
Danielle Phillips is the Founder of Sage Executor Solutions and an only child who experienced firsthand the emotional and logistical challenges of estate administration after losing both of her parents at the age of 35 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This deeply personal journey highlighted the urgent need for practical, compassionate support for families and Executors navigating the complexities that follow a death. Sage Executor Solutions was born from this experience—to ensure others don’t have to face it alone.
After enduring endless hours on hold, chasing paperwork, and repeatedly receiving incorrect forms, Danielle saw the urgent need for a structured, reliable roadmap to ease the burden. She set out to simplify the estate administration process and provide clarity during one of life’s most overwhelming times.
For Danielle, the process of helping clients during such a difficult time is more than just a business, it’s personal.
Our Logo
Our logo, the ‘Rock Cairn’ symbolises balance, and has historically been used as a navigation tool.
Rock Cairns have evolved as symbols of safety and direction. They offer guidance, and when stumbled upon, the assurance that someone has traversed the path before you.
This concept acts as the cornerstone of our business model.
The process you will experience as a client with Sage Executor Solutions, is a similar one to balancing the stones of a Rock Cairn, until the formation and journey is solid and complete.
