QR Codes for Estate Administration: Asset Registers, Probate Forms, and Executor Guides

1. Estate Asset Register

A QR in a letter of wishes or alongside a will links to a secure digital asset register: bank accounts, investment portfolios, property, and digital assets. Executors access the register on death with the solicitor's involvement.

2. Probate Application Links

A QR links to the government's probate application portal and the current fee schedule. Executors follow the correct process for their jurisdiction without outdated paper guides.

3. Executor Guidance

A QR links to a step-by-step executor guide: applying for a grant of probate, collecting assets, settling debts, distributing the estate, and final tax reporting.

4. Security

Estate asset registers contain extremely sensitive information. Use encrypted storage, access controlled by the solicitor or a trusted digital vault service, and never expose the contents behind a publicly guessable URL.
