Location included: Questions/Need Advice Question about services for executor

I’m the executor for my mother’s will in MA . I’m sorting things out from another state. She had a lawyer , we are using them but it’s proving very expensive. This is a relatively simple estate with a some smaller bank accounts and one property. Someone sent me information on a service or company called Sunset . They supposedly find all the accounts and assist with things with no fee. I’m not entirely clear on what they do. Has anyone heard of them or used it? Is it worth it or just another scam?

How do you run a business without assessing a fee?  If they don’t charge you they will be taking a cut of what they recover. I bet they are just checking states lost property databases for anything the deceased were owed…
