Overview
Shared work needs a shared list. Name one person to maintain the tracker, avoid silent side agreements about the house, and bring in an appraiser, CPA, attorney, or planner when a line item actually requires that expertise.

A Hayward estate settlement checklist when more than one person is helping — one tracker, clear ownership of tasks.
What to keep in mind

- No silent side agreements about the house
