Podcast: The personal story of improving the probate process
Exizent Co-Founder, Aleks Tomczyk, joins Today’s Wills and Probate Podcast host David Opie for his latest Podcast: The personal story of improving the probate process.
In 2018-19 Aleks and Nick Cousins, fellow co-Founder of Exizent, went through their own bereavement journeys and found the whole process frustrating. They also watched friends go through similar tedious and difficult situations, sparking the idea for launching the business.
Indeed, one of the unexpected consequences of launching the business and sharing their experience is that many of the team have been attracted to working for Exizent because of their own experiences going through bereavement and probate. “It really speaks to our purpose,” says Aleks, “of making the probate process easier to navigate.”
The ultimate vision for Exizent is to improve the administration of the probate process and connect the 3 key stakeholders together, reducing time and improving accuracy
individuals who have lost family members and beneficiaries
legal service and financial services professionals who support the first group
institutions – anyone with information about the estate
In the discussion Aleks shares details of the work being done by the team and is heartened to see legal services more actively looking at innovation and technology adoption. As an “API-first” organisation Aleks touches on the way Exizent is working on partnering with other organisations to create less friction in the probate process.
