The Missed Calls Cost Estate Planning Firms Clients
After-Hours Calls About Intestate Succession and Probate Go Unanswered, Losing Critical Client Opportunities
When a family member calls at 2 a.m. after a sudden death without a Last Will and Testament, they are often in crisis and seeking immediate guidance on probate proceedings. Without a 24/7 answering service, 27% of these high-intent calls go unanswered—especially during weekends and holidays. This results in missed opportunities to guide families through intestate succession, appoint a personal representative, or initiate estate administration. For estate planning firms, losing a client at this emotional peak means losing not just the immediate probate case, but also potential long-term trust planning and estate tax mitigation services.
Inconsistent Qualification of Revocable Living Trust and Guardianship Inquiries Leads to Wasted Attorney Time
Many estate planning firms receive calls from clients seeking a Revocable Living Trust or guardianship for minor children, but without a structured intake process, 45% of these leads are not properly qualified. For example, a caller may believe they need a trust when they actually qualify for a simple will, or they may be unaware of the need for a durable power of attorney and advance healthcare directive. This leads to attorneys spending hours on consultations that don’t convert—especially when the client’s financial situation or family structure doesn’t align with the services offered.
Manual Data Entry Delays Trustee Appointment and Estate Administration Start Dates
After a client call, estate planning attorneys often spend 1.5 to 3 hours manually transcribing key details—such as beneficiary designations, asset types, and guardian preferences—into documents like a Revocable Living Trust or advance healthcare directive. This delay can push the start of estate administration by 3–5 business days, increasing the risk of client frustration and drop-off. In cases involving a deceased parent with minor children, even a 48-hour delay in initiating guardianship proceedings can trigger unnecessary court involvement and emotional strain.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture More Clients After Hours
An AI receptionist answers a 2:15 a.m. call from a widow who just learned her husband died without a will. The system immediately captures her name, relationship to the deceased, location, and urgency level. Within 90 seconds, a calendar-integrated appointment is booked for a same-day estate administration consultation. The firm captures the lead and begins the process of appointing a personal representative—preventing delays in probate filing and securing the estate planning engagement.
Book Appointments in Real Time
A client calls on a Sunday evening seeking help with guardianship for their two minor children after a car accident. The AI receptionist qualifies the inquiry in real time—confirming the client is the surviving parent, the children are under 18, and they need a legal guardian appointed immediately. The system books a 9:00 a.m. appointment the next day, automatically sending a secure intake form with a HIPAA-compliant link. The attorney reviews the form and files the guardianship petition within 24 hours, securing the client and preventing a court emergency hearing.
Protect Client Privacy & Compliance
After a client call about creating a Revocable Living Trust, the AI receptionist transcribes the conversation using speech-to-text AI and auto-populates a secure intake form with key details: trust type (revocable), primary beneficiaries, trustee selection, and asset types (real estate, IRAs, business interests). The system flags potential compliance risks—such as naming a minor as trustee—and alerts the attorney. The document creation time drops from 2.5 hours to 20 minutes, allowing the firm to deliver the initial trust draft within 48 hours.
Real Results from Real Businesses

Since implementing Answrr, we’ve booked 17 new estate administration cases in just six months, including two complex trusts with $2.3M in assets. It’s like having a dedicated intake team that never sleeps.”

“Before Answrr, we were losing 40% of our weekend leads because no one was available. Now, when a client calls about guardianship for their child after a divorce, the AI asks targeted questions—like whether the other parent is deceased or unfit—and books the appointment instantly. We’ve reduced our average client onboarding time from 7 days to 2.4 days. Our conversion rate for guardianship cases has increased by 38%.”
