Estate Overview

Estate Overview

Tool Mapping (estate-planning + finance-graph)

Routing Boundary

• Use estate-planning for legal ownership, succession structure, and compliance-state reporting.
• Use finance-graph for valuation history and statement facts (PL/CFS/BS, XBRL/OCF).
• Use us-legal.search_court_opinions for case law context on trust/estate structuring decisions.
• Use us-legal.search_bills for pending trust/estate legislation that may affect structuring.
• Do not write finance-fact payloads back into estate-planning records.
• If tax modeling is needed from this workflow, hand off to household-tax.

Full Estate Snapshot Workflow

Step 1: People

estate-planning.list_people — all family members with citizenship and residency status. For each person of interest: estate-planning.get_person for entity ownership and linked documents.

Step 2: Entity Hierarchy

estate-planning.list_entities — all trusts, LLCs, corps, HUFs with status and jurisdiction. Group by:

• Jurisdiction (US entities vs India entities)
• Type (trusts vs operating entities vs holding entities)
• Status (active vs dissolved vs pending)

Step 3: Ownership Graph

estate-planning.get_ownership_graph — full ownership hierarchy showing who owns what. For a specific person: estate-planning.get_ownership_graph(person_id=X) for transitive ownership (A owns B owns C → A effectively owns C with computed percentage).

Step 4: Assets

estate-planning.list_assets — all assets with current valuation snapshots and owners. Use finance-graph valuation-observation tools when trend history is needed. Group by:

• Type (real estate, securities, bank accounts, vehicles)
• Jurisdiction
• Owner (direct person ownership vs entity ownership)

Step 5: Net Worth

estate-planning.get_net_worth — aggregated by jurisdiction and currency. For a specific person: includes both direct and indirect (through entity) ownership.

Step 6: Critical Dates

estate-planning.get_upcoming_dates(days=90) — filing deadlines, renewals, distributions, reviews. Flag overdue items (due_date < today).
