Your estate coordinator

I built Kindred while settling my own mother's estate. I carry the months of administration so you can focus on your family — you stay in control, I do the work.

You don't have to manage anything here — this is your coordinator's work, shared with you. A real person is one call or text away the whole time.
Kindred provides estate administration and coordination. We are not a law firm and don't give legal advice. Figures shown here are organized from the documents provided and are illustrative, not a valuation, a quote, or a promise of savings. Your coordinator confirms the recommended package with you before anything is charged.
