The Missed Calls Cost You Clients and Trust
Clients Call in Crisis During Probate Court Deadlines—Missing Voicemail Risks Lost Cases
Estate planning and probate lawyers face urgent calls from grieving families within 72 hours of a death, often needing immediate guidance on filing for Letters Testamentary or initiating estate administration. Without a live response, 62% of callers hang up—especially when they’re navigating complex issues like contested wills, intestate succession under state law (e.g., California’s $166,250 threshold for simplified probate), or securing a Grant of Probate. These missed opportunities can delay asset distribution by weeks, jeopardize beneficiary rights, and result in costly court interventions.
After-Hours Calls on Intestate Succession and Will Validation Go Unanswered
When a client dies without a will (intestate), state intestacy laws govern asset distribution—often requiring immediate legal action to prevent family disputes. Yet 85% of after-hours calls go unanswered, including those from executors needing to file for Letters Testamentary or determine if a testamentary trust must be established. This delay can trigger unnecessary litigation, especially in high-value estates where beneficiaries are contesting inheritance rights or seeking clarification on durable power of attorney designations.
Lawyers Spend 2–3 Hours Weekly Answering Basic Probate Questions Instead of Complex Cases
Attorneys routinely field calls about probate exemptions (e.g., small estates under $50,000 in Texas), how to avoid probate with revocable living trusts, or whether life insurance proceeds require court validation. These repetitive inquiries—covering topics like beneficiary designations, living wills, or the difference between a personal representative and an executor—consume 2–3 hours per week per lawyer, diverting focus from high-value estate administration, contested wills, or trust litigation that require specialized legal expertise.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures 98% of inbound leads—preventing the loss of 30–40% of potential clients who otherwise abandon the process after missing a call. For example, a client calling at 9:30 PM on a Saturday to initiate estate administration for a $750,000 estate with real property in Florida is immediately routed to a case intake form, scheduled for a same-week consultation, and guided through the first steps of securing a Grant of Probate—resulting in a 22% increase in client conversion within three months.
Personalized Service That Builds Trust
Answrr remembers client-specific details like prior testamentary trust structures, beneficiary designations in a living will, or whether a durable power of attorney was executed. When a client calls back after a 10-day gap to update their estate plan due to a new child, the AI recalls their previous request to avoid probate for a rental property in Arizona—saving 15 minutes of intake time and enabling the attorney to focus on drafting a new trust amendment with tax-efficient provisions.
Cut Phone Costs by Up to 80%
Switching from a $4,200/month receptionist to Answrr’s $99/month Starter plan saves $50,208 annually—funds reallocated to hiring a paralegal for probate document preparation or investing in trust administration software. One firm in Illinois used the savings to automate 120+ Grant of Probate filings per year, reducing processing time from 14 days to 4 days.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We had a client call at 11:45 PM on a Friday after her father passed—she was panicked, didn’t know if she needed to file for Letters Testamentary or if her mother’s living will would override her father’s estate plan. Answrr answered, walked her through the state’s $25,000 small estate exemption, and scheduled a same-day consultation. That case turned into a $120,000 estate administration retainer. Without Answrr, we’d have lost her.”

“Before Answrr, we lost 35% of leads after hours—especially during holiday weekends when probate deadlines loomed. Now, our AI handles over 180 intake calls monthly, including those from out-of-state clients needing to initiate estate administration in California. It even explains how a testamentary trust can bypass probate for a $400,000 home in Orange County. Our case intake rate has increased by 38% in six months.”

“When a client called about a contested will involving a $600,000 estate and three siblings disputing beneficiary designations, Answrr picked up the thread from their last call—where they’d discussed the need for a trust to avoid future litigation. It reminded them of their prior request to include a no-contest clause in the new will. That continuity built instant trust, and they signed a $28,000 estate planning package within 48 hours.”
