The High-Stakes Challenge for Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
Missed Calls During Critical Probate Deadlines and Family Crises
Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers often face urgent calls from grieving families within 72 hours of a death—timing that triggers the start of probate proceedings. With 42% of leads waiting 3 or more days for a response, a missed call during this window can result in missed deadlines for filing a Last Will and Testament in probate court, triggering delays in asset distribution or even challenges to the executor’s authority. For example, a client calling at 2 a.m. after a parent’s sudden passing may need immediate guidance on appointing an executor or initiating a small estate affidavit—delays can jeopardize the entire estate settlement process.
Voicemail Inadequate for Time-Sensitive Guardianship and Trust Decisions
When a parent dies unexpectedly, a family may need to establish guardianship for minor children within days. Yet 78% of clients won’t leave a voicemail during emotional distress. Without real-time intake, critical details like the child’s age, existing Durable Power of Attorney documents, or the names of potential beneficiaries in a revocable trust are lost. This delays the court appointment process and can leave minors without legal representation during a vulnerable period.
Manual Intake Slows Down Complex Estate Planning Workflows
Attorneys spend up to 50% of their time on administrative tasks, including manually collecting information on asset types (real estate, IRAs, business interests), beneficiary designations, and whether a client already has an Advance Healthcare Directive or an irrevocable trust. Without automated intake, crucial details are forgotten or misrecorded—leading to incomplete consultations, repeated follow-ups, and increased risk of errors in drafting a Last Will and Testament or setting up a trust that doesn’t align with the client’s intent.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every lead instantly—even at 3 a.m. after a death. For a firm handling a high-volume probate case, this means a client calling within 24 hours of a loved one’s passing receives immediate confirmation of receipt, a scheduled consultation within 1.5 hours, and a personalized email with next steps. One firm reported a 67% increase in initial consultations after implementing the service, with 89% of new clients citing the immediate response as their deciding factor.
Build Trust with Personalized Service
Answrr uses AI trained on estate law terminology to ask targeted questions: 'Is this a probate case or a trust administration?' 'Are you the named executor in the Last Will and Testament?' 'Do you have an existing revocable trust with a successor trustee?' This ensures that by the time the attorney meets the client, they already know whether the estate is intestate succession or governed by a trust, the number of beneficiaries, and whether a Power of Attorney is in place—reducing intake time by 45 minutes per client on average.
Cut Phone Costs by 80%
Replacing a full-time receptionist ($4,000/month) with Answrr ($99/month) cuts phone costs by 97.5% and eliminates after-hours burnout. One firm handling 120+ probate cases annually reported that their attorneys now spend 11 fewer hours per week on non-billable tasks—time they’ve redirected to drafting complex irrevocable trusts, representing clients in contested probate hearings, and expanding their client base through referrals.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We serve elderly clients and families navigating the emotional weight of losing a spouse. One night, a daughter called at 1:47 a.m. after her father passed—she was terrified about filing the probate petition before the 30-day window closed. Answrr answered immediately, collected her name, the date of death, and whether there was a Last Will. By 2:15 a.m., we had scheduled a video consultation. She later told us, 'You were the first person to answer—I didn’t think anyone would care at that hour.' That moment built trust that led to a full estate plan, including a revocable trust and Advance Healthcare Directive. We’ve since referred 14 new clients from that one call.”

“Our firm specializes in complex trust litigation and estate administration. Before Answrr, we lost 30% of leads because we missed after-hours calls. Now, when a client calls about a contested probate case or a beneficiary dispute, the AI asks: 'Is this a probate case involving an irrevocable trust?' 'Are you the named executor?' 'Do you have a copy of the Advance Healthcare Directive?' This data is auto-populated into our CRM. We’ve reduced our average intake time from 45 minutes to 12 minutes per client—and our case closure rate has increased by 22% in six months.”

“I was drowning in after-hours calls about guardianship for minors and executor appointments. One weekend, a client called at 9 p.m. asking how to appoint a guardian for her 6-year-old after her husband’s sudden death. Answrr collected the child’s name, the parent’s will status, and whether a Durable Power of Attorney was in place—then scheduled a consultation for the next morning. I was able to file the guardianship petition within 48 hours. That’s not just efficiency—it’s peace of mind for families during crisis. I’ve reclaimed 15 hours a week for actual legal work.”
