Changelog

Product and documentation updates for the Sunset API. Items marked In development are coming to the API soon — watch this page for go-live announcements.
Automated Closure

Automated Closure

Sunset now closes accounts on your behalf: institution notification, documentation, follow-up, signature flagging, and deposit of proceeds into the case’s FDIC-insured estate account. Free for families, covering bank, retirement, and brokerage accounts plus life insurance claims. See the announcement and the new Automated Closure section of the Closure Guide, including how automated progress is reflected in the account and closure-step resources you already read today.

In development

  • Closure-request endpoints — request and track automated closures programmatically.
  • Search initiation endpoint — kick off asset searches over the API.
  • Business bank account search — a new search type finding accounts titled to the deceased’s business entities.
Documentation for each will land here when the endpoints ship.

Documentation

  • The Pro Users Guide now documents reviewing asset searches: search types and statuses, and where discovered results land in the case’s resources.
  • Fixed the Business Ownership Guide, which previously returned a 404.
  • Added this changelog.
Invite-only access

Invite-Only Access

The Sunset API moved to an invite-only access model with bearer authentication. See Request Access.

Read-Heavy Model for Law Firm Integrations

The API was restructured around a read-heavy model for law firm integrations, with grouped debt-type endpoints and updated enums.
