The Missed Calls Cost You Clients
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered During Critical Moments in Probate Proceedings
When a client calls at 2:17 a.m. after a sudden death, they’re often in emotional distress and seeking immediate guidance on initiating probate, locating a will, or appointing an executor. Yet 62% of small estate planning firms miss these after-hours calls—resulting in clients turning to competitors who offer 24/7 availability. For estate planning attorneys, this delay can trigger a cascade: missing the 30-day window to file a petition in probate court, risking asset liquidation or contested proceedings. In one case, a client lost access to a family home due to a 48-hour delay in contacting an attorney after the death of a parent, leading to a costly court intervention under intestate succession laws.
Manual Scheduling Delays Onboarding for Complex Estate Planning Needs
Clients seeking to establish a Grantor Retained Annuity Trust (GRAT), set up a Dynasty Trust for multi-generational wealth transfer, or finalize a Living Will often expect immediate action. However, manual calendar coordination—especially across multiple attorneys and paralegals—can delay consultations by 3–5 days. This is critical: 65% of estate planning clients prefer to speak with a lawyer within 24 hours. A delay in scheduling a consultation for an A-B Trust setup can result in missed IRS filing deadlines, increasing estate tax exposure by 15–20% due to late documentation. One firm reported that 42% of their probate cases were delayed by over 60 days due to inconsistent client follow-up and missing beneficiary designation forms.
Inconsistent Follow-Up Undermines Trust in Sensitive Estate Matters
Clients frequently call back to confirm appointments, ask about Power of Attorney forms, or clarify beneficiary designations in a revocable trust. Without a centralized system, attorneys repeat explanations—sometimes multiple times—leading to frustration and perceived disorganization. For example, a client who initially discussed a Living Will for end-of-life care may call again weeks later to ask about updating their beneficiary designations, only to be told the same information again. This erodes trust, especially when clients are navigating grief or complex decisions like establishing a GRAT to minimize estate tax. With 83% of clients expecting a response within two hours, inconsistent follow-up damages credibility and can result in lost business.

Your 24/7 AI Receptionist
Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Our AI Receptionist captures every call—even at 3 a.m.—and immediately routes inquiries to the appropriate attorney. For example, when a client calls seeking help with intestate succession after a parent’s death, the AI asks: 'Are you the executor? Do you have a copy of the will?' It then schedules a consultation within 15 minutes and sends a secure link to a pre-filled intake form for beneficiary designations and power of attorney documentation. Since implementation, one firm reported a 38% increase in consultations for estate tax planning and a 45% reduction in missed leads—directly tied to capturing calls that would have gone to voicemail.
Book Consultations Instantly
The AI automatically schedules consultations based on real-time availability and client intent. For instance, if a client says, 'I want to set up a revocable living trust to avoid probate,' the AI offers time slots for a trust vs. will comparison session and sends a calendar invite with a pre-filled document checklist—covering items like trust funding, beneficiary designations, and digital asset estate planning. This reduces scheduling time from an average of 48 hours to under 10 minutes. One firm reduced their client onboarding time from 5 days to 1.2 days, enabling faster execution of estate plans and reducing the risk of delays in probate court filings.
Secure, GDPR-Compliant Communication
All client interactions are encrypted with AES-256-GCM and stored in a GDPR-compliant, HIPAA-ready system. The AI remembers past conversations—such as a client’s interest in a Dynasty Trust or their previous discussion about a GRAT structure—so when they call again, it references prior context: 'You mentioned last month you were considering a GRAT to transfer assets tax-free. Would you like to revisit that plan?' This ensures continuity, reduces redundant questions, and builds trust. One firm reported a 30% increase in client satisfaction scores after implementing AI-driven conversation memory.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We handle 18 new probate cases annually, but before the AI, we missed 4–5 after-hours calls each month—often from grieving families who needed immediate help filing a petition. Now, the AI answers every call, asks qualifying questions about the will’s existence and executor appointment, and books a consultation within 12 minutes. In one case, we secured a $2.3M estate plan for a client who called at 1:45 a.m. after their spouse passed. That consultation led to a full A-B Trust setup and avoided a 12-month probate delay. We’ve booked 32% more consultations in six months—without adding staff.”

“I’m not tech-savvy, but the AI onboarding assistant guided me through setting up the system in 8 minutes. Now, when a client calls about a Living Will or Power of Attorney, the AI asks the right questions and schedules a meeting with the right attorney. Last month, a client called at 11 p.m. after a parent’s passing—she was panicked and didn’t know how to start probate. The AI walked her through the process, scheduled a consultation, and sent a checklist for beneficiary designations. She completed her estate plan in 72 hours. That’s the kind of service clients remember.”

“The AI remembers every detail—like when a client mentioned their interest in a GRAT to reduce estate tax or their desire to create a Dynasty Trust for their grandchildren. When they call back, it says, 'You previously discussed a GRAT with a 5-year term—would you like to explore the current IRS exemption rates?' That level of personalization builds trust fast. We’ve seen a 40% increase in referrals from clients who felt truly understood during the onboarding process.”
