Import a Date of Death statement

Import holdings for a deceased investment or bank account using a PDF statement that covers the date of death. This article walks through each step of the import process.

Tip: Verify the date of death in the Intake page before validating to ensure accurate historical positions.

Step 1: Access Statement Import

Go to the Inventory or Accounting tab (depending on whether accounting is enabled for your file), then click the Statement Import tab at the top of the page.

Step 2: Prepare to upload

Before importing:

  1. Ensure you have created at least one deceased investment account or bank account that may contain holdings.

  2. Have a PDF statement ready that covers the period including the date of death.

Step 3: Upload the statement

  1. Go to the Statement Import tab.

  2. Click to upload or drag and drop the PDF file.

  3. Wait for the system to process the file.

  4. Once ready, click Validate Now.

Step 4: Validate the statement

  1. Select the deceased account (e.g., Charles Schwab) for which you are capturing date-of-death positions.

  2. The upload processes as an initial position only.

  3. Review and confirm the statement period dates and date of death (pulled from the file's Intake page). If the date of death is incorrect, update it in the Intake page.

  4. Click Next to proceed to holdings.

Step 5: Review holdings during import

On the Holdings tab, you see each holding with its symbol, description, date of death quantity, unit cost, market price, and market value.

Key details:

  • Orange values = quantities as of the date of death. These may differ from the statement due to post-death sales or purchases.

  • Holdings with no quantity in orange = acquired only after the date of death — these are deselected and excluded from inventory automatically.

  • Holdings are displayed in the same order as the original statement.

Step 6: Finalize the import

  1. Review all holdings and confirm accuracy.

  2. Click Validate. If no required fields are missing, proceed.

  3. Click Next.

  4. Click Sync Now to import the validated data.

  5. A confirmation message appears: "Good job, the document has now been synced."

Conclusion

Holdings are now imported as of the date of death. Contact [email protected] if you need help.
