The High-Stakes Cost of Missed Calls
Missed After-Hours Calls During Critical Estate Administration Moments
Estate planning and probate lawyers frequently receive urgent calls after business hours—such as when a family member passes unexpectedly, triggering immediate need for a Last Will and Testament review, appointment of a Trustee, or initiation of the probate court process. With up to 90% of after-hours calls going unanswered by solo practitioners, clients are left in emotional distress without guidance during the critical 72-hour window for filing a petition for probate. This delay can result in missed deadlines, increased legal fees, and even unintended intestate succession, undermining client trust and risking lost retainers.
Voicemails Fail to Capture High-Intent Leads for Revocable Living Trusts and Guardianship
Prospective clients calling about setting up a Revocable Living Trust, establishing a Durable Power of Attorney, or initiating Guardianship for a minor or incapacitated adult often hang up if they don’t get an immediate response. Research shows 85% of callers who reach voicemail never leave a message—especially when discussing sensitive matters like estate tax planning or navigating the complexities of estate administration. These missed opportunities are not just lost leads; they represent potential clients who may have been ready to sign a $15,000–$30,000 estate planning retainer but moved on to a competitor due to poor responsiveness.
Attorneys Diverted from High-Value Work to Handle Routine Estate Planning Inquiries
Estate planning attorneys spend an average of 2.3 hours per week fielding unstructured calls about common concerns such as how to avoid probate, the difference between a Last Will and Testament and a Revocable Living Trust, or the timeline for estate administration. This time could otherwise be spent drafting trusts, advising on estate tax planning strategies, or preparing for court hearings related to intestate succession. With 13.6 million hours annually lost to call intake across the legal industry, even a solo practitioner handling 500 cases per year is losing over 100 billable hours—equivalent to 1–2 full-time associates’ worth of work.

The AI uses natural language to acknowledge grief, confirm the client’s relationship to the decedent, and offer immediate next steps, such as sending a free estate checklist or scheduling a consultation with a licensed attorney. This personalized, human-like interaction reduces client anxiety and increases trust, especially during the first 24 hours after a loss.
Free Up Your Time for High-Value Work
Stop losing 1.8 hours per week to answering repetitive questions about estate tax planning, the cost of a Last Will and Testament, or how to appoint a Guardian for a minor. Answrr handles these inquiries with structured intake, collecting essential details like asset types, beneficiary designations, and state-specific probate rules. The AI then delivers a prioritized lead report to your team, enabling you to focus on drafting a Revocable Living Trust, preparing a Power of Attorney, or advising on estate tax planning strategies—freeing up 150+ billable hours per year for a mid-sized firm.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major estate planning client last year because we weren’t available after hours—her father passed suddenly, and she called at 11:30 p.m. We didn’t answer. Now, with Answrr, our AI answers every call with a calm, professional tone—confirming her relationship to the decedent, explaining the next steps in estate administration, and booking a consultation before she even leaves the hospital. We’ve retained three clients in the past six months who would’ve otherwise gone to a competitor.”

“After a client called at 1:15 a.m. about a contested will and Trustee dispute, our AI not only answered but asked clarifying questions about the decedent’s assets, the existence of a Revocable Living Trust, and whether a Guardian needed to be appointed. It scheduled a consultation with our senior probate attorney within 45 minutes. The client was so impressed by the immediate response that she referred two other families to us. This is the kind of trust-building moment we can’t afford to miss.”
