The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Missed Calls During Sensitive Moments: 78% of Prospects Don’t Return After Voicemail
Estate planning clients—especially those over 55—are often emotionally overwhelmed when considering their legacy, making them less likely to leave a voicemail. When a potential client calls about drafting a revocable living trust or establishing a durable power of attorney and hits an unanswered line, 78% never return. This is especially critical for clients facing the sudden loss of a spouse or parent, where timing is crucial to initiate the probate process before deadlines like the 90-day window for filing a testamentary will in many states. Without immediate contact, firms lose high-intent leads who are already in the decision-making phase.
After-Hours Calls Go Unanswered: 62% of Urgent Estate Planning Inquiries Are Lost
Following a death, families often reach out at 10 PM or on Sundays to understand their options under intestate succession or to begin the probate process. Yet, 62% of these calls go unanswered due to staffing gaps. For example, a client in Florida calling at 11:30 PM after a parent’s passing may need immediate guidance on filing a petition for probate and appointing a personal representative. Without a 24/7 virtual receptionist, this lead is lost to a competitor who can respond within minutes, often securing the case before the original firm even realizes the inquiry occurred.
Peak Season Overload: 15–20 New Cases Per Year Can Overwhelm Staff During Q4
Estate planning firms typically handle 15–20 new cases annually, with 60% of clients over 55 seeking to protect assets averaging $1.2 million. During Q4 and spring, intake volume spikes by 40–60%, leading to missed calls, delayed responses, and administrative bottlenecks. For instance, a firm managing 18 new cases in a year may receive 120+ intake calls in just 6 weeks during the holiday season. Without automation, staff spend hours on basic intake tasks—like scheduling consultations for advance healthcare directives or pour-over wills—instead of focusing on high-value legal work like trust structuring or fiduciary duty planning.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Every Lead, Every Time
Answrr captures every lead 24/7, including after-hours calls from clients seeking immediate help with probate process timelines, grantor responsibilities, or naming beneficiaries in a revocable living trust. One firm in Texas reported a 37% increase in new consultations within 3 months of implementation, with 89% of leads converted from after-hours calls that would have otherwise gone unanswered. This includes clients calling at 1:15 AM after a loved one’s passing to ask about filing a petition for probate under intestate succession.
Automate Consultation Scheduling
Answrr automates consultation scheduling for high-priority services like estate tax planning, guardianship for minor children, and establishing a durable power of attorney. For example, a client calling to discuss minimizing estate taxes on a $2.3 million estate can be instantly booked into a 45-minute consultation with a tax-efficient trust strategy. On average, firms using AI scheduling reduce back-and-forth emails by 72% and cut appointment confirmation time from 3 days to under 2 hours.
Build Trust with Personalized Service
Answrr builds trust by remembering past conversations—such as a client’s concern about their spouse’s healthcare decisions or the need to update a pour-over will after a divorce. When a client calls back 4 weeks later, the AI references their previous discussion about naming a successor trustee, creating a seamless experience. One firm in California reported a 41% increase in client satisfaction scores after implementing personalized follow-ups, with clients noting, 'It felt like they already knew my situation.'
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We were losing 1 in 3 leads because clients didn’t return calls after hitting voicemail. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve captured 92% of those missed calls—especially from clients in their 60s and 70s who are finalizing their revocable living trusts. One client called at 11:45 PM after her husband passed and was immediately guided through the probate process. We secured the case and even added a pour-over will to her existing trust. That’s not just efficiency—it’s peace of mind for our clients and growth for our firm.”

“I was skeptical about AI handling sensitive topics like advance healthcare directives and fiduciary duty. But the voice is so natural, clients don’t realize it’s not a human. One client called at 2 AM after her father’s death, asking how to file a petition for probate. Answrr collected her information, scheduled a consultation for 8 AM, and even reminded her to bring her father’s testamentary will. She later said, 'I felt supported when I was most vulnerable.' That’s the level of care we can’t deliver without a virtual receptionist.”
