Estate Planning & Probate

Interview once, draft the whole plan.

An estate plan is one set of decisions expressed in six documents. Drive them all from a single interview and the review shrinks to the variables.

What this costs you today

  • —Six documents cross-checked by hand for one client's decisions
  • —Trust funding instructions forgotten after signing
  • —Probate forms retyped from the will
  • —No system for annual reviews or reactivation
Typical impact

~5 hours

of paralegal and associate time absorbed per matter once the core modules are running.

At a $150 blended cost per hour that is about $750 per matter.
