For estates in Texas
What June's Help does
The short answer
June's Help (juneshelp.com) is an AI estate assistant for families settling an estate in Texas. June reads a letter from a bank, a life insurer, a pension or Social Security in plain words, lists the dates printed on it, and keeps the letters together in one file for the whole estate.
This page gives an overview of each part, with a link to the guide for each. June is an AI, not a person and not a lawyer, and the family stays in charge.
What is June's Help?
June's Help is a website where a family settling an estate in Texas works with June, an AI estate assistant.

How does a family start with June's Help?
The start page asks where the estate is and where the person signing up lives, and then come five short steps: two boxes to tick, a few details, a place to add one letter now or later, an email address, and a link sent to that address.
Once the link is opened, the page asks three questions, each answered Yes, No or Not sure: whether there is a surviving husband or wife, whether anyone depended on the person who died, and whether the person served in the military.
Our own code (not AI) uses the answers only to switch steps on or off, and the page says how many steps the plan has, in a sentence such as "Your plan is ready: 40 steps." The questions can be skipped, and then the plan has the steps every Texas estate shares. There is no password: a link sent by email signs the family in.

What do the plan and Today show?
After sign-in a family lands on Today. It says how many steps are done, such as "7 of 40 steps done", names the next milestone, and links to "Open your plan". Below come the next three steps, the dates coming up and the latest letters.
The plan page lists the Texas steps in six parts, from the first days to closing the estate. The court steps are marked as ones to take with a lawyer. A step shows its status, who does it, a summary in plain words, and a link to the official page with the date it was checked. A bar for each part shows progress, and milestones are marked Reached, Next or Later.
The person who signed up ticks a step done with "Mark done" and can undo it with "Undo". The answers can be changed later.

How does a family add a letter?
A letter is added on the "Your letters" page, with "Take a photo" or "Choose a file". June's Help reads JPEG, PNG and HEIC images and PDFs, one letter at a time.
A letter can also be added by email, as a reply to an email from June with photos attached, sent from the address of the account. A reply with words only is read as a question, and the answer comes back by email.

What does June send back for a letter?
June sends back a page with the sender, the letter's own lines in plain words, the dates it prints, what it asks, questions the family could ask the sender, and links to official pages.
The page is labeled as June's AI reading and asks the family to check each quote and date against the original, which only the person who signed up can open.

Which letters does June explain, and which does she hand off?
June explains four kinds of letter in full: those from a bank, a life insurance company, a pension plan and Social Security.
Other kinds are handed off with the sender, the dates printed on the letter and a line saying who can help: a court notice, a tax notice, a claim against the estate, a Social Security overpayment letter, and any kind June does not know, such as a letter from a utility or a phone company. The list marks them "For your lawyer", "For your accountant", "For the court's self-help center" or "For the office that sent it".
A medical bill or record is refused, and so is a letter from a hospital, a hospice or a health plan. Anything of that kind that arrives is deleted from the file at once. A letter may also wait to be read, and the list then marks it "Waiting for your plan" or "Waiting".

How do the dates and the reminder emails work?
A date is listed only when the letter prints it. A letter that prints none shows the line "No date is printed on it, so I haven't made one up."
The Dates page lists the printed dates, and each says which letter it comes from. The person who signed up ticks a date done with "Mark done" and can undo it with "Undo". A date ticked done gets no more reminder emails.
A due date is a date that a letter asks something by, or sets something for. With the assistant plan, June's Help emails a reminder three days before a due date, at 9 am in the time zone set at sign-up, to the person who signed up.
The date of the letter itself and any other printed date are shown on the page but get no reminder. With the assistant plan, a weekly check-in email also arrives every seven days, with up to three of the next due dates.

How does a family ask June a question?
The person who signed up can open Ask June from the menu and type a question about a letter, a date or a step in the plan. June looks up what the letters ask for, the dates printed on them and the next steps on the plan, and a note under the answer shows where each came from. Our code checks what June writes before you see it.
A question that is for a lawyer gets no answer. The page points you to the lawyer referral services listed by the State Bar of Texas instead.
How do family seats work?
With the assistant plan, the person who signed up can invite a brother, a sister or another family member to a family seat, which is an extra on top of the plan. The offer goes by email from the Account page, under "Family seats".
A seat holder is 18 or older, lives in Texas and ticks their own box. The holder reads the plan, Today, the dates and the letters June has read, without the originals, the start answers or the billing, and cannot add letters, tick a step or a date, or change anything.

What do the Account page and the file hold?
The Account page, called "Plan and billing", holds the assistant plan, the receipts and the family seats.
"Export my data" downloads one web page with the letters as June read them and their dates, and no photos. "Delete my data", a link in the footer, removes everything at once, apart from a few payment, refund and legal records, and encrypted backups last 30 days. How June's Help works has the rest of what happens to the file.

What does June's Help leave to the family?
June doesn't replace your lawyer. She keeps your letters and dates ready to show one.
A lawyer can tell a family what a letter about a court case or a claim means. June's Help does not do these things:
- Give advice on what to pay or what to do
- Work out a date that is not printed on a letter
- Explain the law or a court step
- Draft court papers, or reply to anything contested
- Keep a medical bill or record
- Send a letter or notice to a company or an office for the family
- Say whether a letter is real

How does June's Help hide personal details?
Our code (not AI) hides the names you gave us, addresses, and account and ID numbers before June reads a letter. It can miss a name it doesn't know, like a sibling's, or a very short number.
