Inheritus and Column today announced a new partnership to simplify how Notices to Creditors (NTCs) are submitted and published through the Inheritus Platform for Legacy & Estate Administration. By integrating Column’s technology directly into the Inheritus experience, the partnership makes an often sensitive and complex part of estate administration easier, more efficient, and more accessible for families, advisors, and legal professionals.

Inheritus is a platform built to simplify legacy planning and estate administration, giving individuals, families, and advisors one secure place to organize important information before, during, and after life’s transitions. Column is a software platform that helps organizations publish and manage public notices more efficiently. Through Automated Placement, Column enables organizations to submit notices at scale through an automated workflow that manages newspaper coordination, compliance requirements, deadlines, invoices, affidavits, and payments.

Through the partnership, Inheritus is integrating with Column’s API to build notice submission directly into its platform and website experience. This allows users managing probate and estate administration to complete an important legal requirement within a product they already trust, while Column handles the underlying workflow needed to route notices to the appropriate newspaper, support jurisdiction-specific requirements, and manage the operational steps that follow publication.

The result is a more connected customer experience for families and advisors, and a strong example of how modern software can strengthen the public notice process rather than fragment it. By making notice submission easier to access and complete, partnerships like this can help more organizations connect their users to the newspapers and legal workflows that keep public notice transparent, compliant, and effective.

“This partnership underscores Inheritus’ commitment to simplifying estate administration for families and advisors,” said Inheritus. “By working with Column, we’re expanding access to tools that reduce confusion and friction during major life transitions, while streamlining the public notice process.”

“Public notice should feel transparent and dependable, not burdensome,” said Megan Villanueva, CEO of Column. “Our partnership with Inheritus shows how organizations can build Column’s public notice platform directly into their own products, improving the customer experience while still connecting users to their local newspapers. It’s a model that better serves the families, advisors, and legal professionals placing notices and strengthens the public information system that keeps our communities informed.”
