The High-Stakes Cost of Missed Calls
Missed Intake Calls During Peak Hours: Solicitors and Heirs Seeking Probate Assistance Are Being Turned Away
With only one phone line, your firm loses critical leads from solicitors handling estate administration matters and family members initiating intestate succession proceedings. For example, a solicitor calling at 4:45 PM to request a Letter of Testamentary for a deceased client’s estate may hear a busy signal—delaying probate filing by days. This is especially problematic during high-volume periods like tax season or after a major life event, when demand for Last Will and Testament services spikes. According to industry data, 15% of inbound calls come from solicitors—many of whom are time-sensitive and expect immediate responses to avoid court delays or missed filing deadlines.
Voicemails Go Unreturned: Potential Clients Seeking Trust Administration or Probate Guidance Are Lost After Hours
After 6 PM or on weekends, potential clients—often adult children managing a parent’s estate or executors navigating complex trust administration—leave voicemails with urgent questions about Petition for Probate, Filing Fees, or court procedures. Without a dedicated after-hours system, these messages sit unattended. In one case, a client called at 8:30 PM to discuss a contested estate with a $1.2M trust, but the voicemail went unanswered for 72 hours. By then, the client had already engaged a competitor. With only 15% of callers returning after leaving a voicemail, this represents a consistent drain on high-value lead acquisition.
Time-Consuming Intake Process: Legal Staff Are Losing 30 Minutes Per Call on Non-Client-Facing Tasks
Each intake call—whether for a new Last Will and Testament, a Petition for Probate, or a trust administration review—takes an average of 30 minutes. During this time, an attorney or paralegal is pulled away from critical tasks like drafting estate documents, preparing for court hearings, or advising executors on their fiduciary duties. One firm reported that their legal team spent over 12 hours per week on intake calls, equivalent to 1.5 full days of billable work lost. This directly impacts the firm’s capacity to handle more cases, especially during peak estate planning seasons.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every High-Value Lead
Our AI receptionist answers every call 24/7—whether it’s a solicitor requesting a copy of a Letter of Testamentary or a beneficiary asking about the timeline for probate. The system qualifies leads using natural conversation, asking targeted questions like, 'Are you the executor of the estate?' or 'Is there a trust involved?' and automatically logs details into your CRM. One firm saw a 62% increase in after-hours consultations within the first month, converting 18% of those leads into retained clients—each worth an average of $4,200 in lifetime value.
Book Appointments While You Sleep
With real-time calendar sync to Calendly and GoHighLevel, the AI receptionist books appointments instantly during off-hours. For example, a client calling at 9:15 PM after a family member’s passing can be scheduled for a consultation the next morning within minutes. This eliminates back-and-forth emails and phone tag, ensuring no time-sensitive probate deadlines are missed. One firm reported a 40% increase in booked consultations from after-hours calls, with 73% of those appointments occurring within 48 hours of the initial contact.
Enterprise-Grade Security & Privacy
Enterprise-grade encryption and GDPR compliance ensure that sensitive estate records—such as trust documents, beneficiary lists, and Petition for Probate filings—are securely handled. The system automatically redacts sensitive data from call logs and stores recordings in encrypted vaults accessible only to authorized personnel. This is essential for firms handling high-net-worth estates or multi-state probate matters where data privacy is non-negotiable.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 3–4 high-value clients per week—especially during tax season—because our single line was overwhelmed. One case involved a $2.1M estate with a contested trust, and the executor called at 5:30 PM on a Friday. We missed it. By Monday, they’d hired another firm. Now, our AI receptionist answers every call, qualifies the client, books a consultation with our estate planning attorney, and even reminds them to bring their Last Will and Testament. In the last quarter, we’ve converted 22% of after-hours leads into retained clients—up from 5% before.”

Managing Partner, LegacyGuard Estate Planning & Probate Law, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“The AI receptionist asked if the caller was an executor, whether there was a trust, and if they needed help with a Petition for Probate. It even remembered a client’s previous call about intestate succession and flagged it for follow-up. I thought it was a real person—so natural was the tone. Since implementation, we’ve booked 14 new consultations from after-hours calls, including one from a solicitor in Toronto handling a cross-border estate administration. Our intake efficiency has improved by 58%.”
Daniel Reeves
Estate Planning Attorney, ClearPath Trust & Probate Law, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“I was skeptical—how could an AI understand the nuances of estate administration? But the onboarding was seamless. I just told it our firm’s specialties: Last Will and Testament, Trust Administration, and Probate for out-of-state estates. It built our agent in 8 minutes, complete with custom scripts for solicitors, executors, and beneficiaries. Now, our after-hours calls are no longer a bottleneck. We’re saving over 10 hours a week in staff time—time we’re now using to draft more estate plans.”
