The Missed Calls That Cost You Clients
Clients Call in Crisis—But You’re Offline During Critical 72-Hour Window
When a decedent passes, families often need immediate guidance on whether probate is required—especially if the estate exceeds $100,000 or includes real property. Without an available attorney, 62% of callers hang up after hearing voicemail. For Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers, missing a call within the first 72 hours can mean losing a client who may later choose a competitor during the emotional decision-making phase. Our AI understands key triggers: if a decedent died intestate, had a revocable trust, or left a will with a contested beneficiary designation. It instantly identifies whether the case involves a testamentary trust, administrator appointment, or need for a probate court filing—ensuring no critical lead is lost.
Families Confuse Wills, Trusts, and Probate—Leading to Delays in Executor Appointment
Many heirs mistakenly believe a will automatically avoids probate. In reality, if the decedent owned assets solely in their name—like a primary residence or investment accounts—probate is often required, even with a will. Our AI uses industry terminology to clarify: ‘If the decedent had a revocable trust, assets like the family home may bypass probate. But if they relied solely on a will and had $250,000 in non-qualified accounts, probate in most states will be necessary.’ The AI explains the role of the executor, the difference between an administrator (appointed when intestate) and a grantor, and how beneficiary designations on retirement accounts override wills—reducing confusion and accelerating next steps.
Grieving Families Can’t Provide Critical Estate Details—Yet You Need Them Fast
After a death, families are emotionally overwhelmed and unable to recall key details like the decedent’s date of death, whether they had a revocable trust, or the names of primary beneficiaries on life insurance policies. Our AI collects this information during the first call using a structured intake protocol: ‘Please confirm the decedent’s full name, date of death, and whether they had a will or trust. Also, did they name a beneficiary on their 401(k) or life insurance policy?’ This ensures that when the attorney reviews the case, they already have the essential data—reducing follow-up calls by 40% and enabling faster filing of a petition for probate or trust administration.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture Leads at Any Hour
Our AI captures 92% of after-hours calls from grieving families, including those calling at 1:15 a.m. after a sudden death. For example, a client in Miami called at 1:47 a.m. following a decedent’s passing—our AI collected the decedent’s name, date of death, and confirmed they had a revocable trust. The system scheduled a consultation with an estate attorney within 2 hours, resulting in a signed trust administration agreement by the next business day. This reduces the risk of missed deadlines in probate court, where filing must occur within 30 days of the decedent’s death in Florida.
Build Trust With Personalized Conversations
The AI builds long-term client trust by remembering case-specific details across interactions. For example, if a client previously set up a testamentary trust for their minor grandchildren, the AI recalls: ‘Mr. Delgado, you last spoke about updating the trustee for your children’s trust. Would you like to schedule a follow-up to review the current trustee’s responsibilities and update beneficiary designations?’ This personalized follow-up increases client retention by 35% and reduces repeat inquiries about trust administration timelines.
Cut Phone Costs Without Losing Leads
Replacing a full-time receptionist ($45,000/year) with our AI reduces phone-related overhead by 83% while handling 120+ calls per day. The AI schedules consultations, confirms appointments, and sends automated reminders with estate planning checklists—such as ‘Gather the decedent’s will, death certificate, and asset list before your meeting.’ This ensures that 94% of scheduled consultations begin with all required documents, reducing attorney prep time by 2.5 hours per week.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“We lost a major trust administration case last year because we missed a call from a surviving spouse at 2 a.m. after her husband passed. Since implementing the AI, we’ve captured 47 new probate cases in the first quarter alone—most from after-hours calls. The AI now asks, ‘Did the decedent have a revocable trust, and who is the named successor trustee?’ That simple question helps us qualify cases instantly and assign them to the right attorney within 90 minutes.”

“One of our biggest challenges is helping families understand how to avoid probate. Our AI now explains in plain terms: ‘If your mother had a life insurance policy with a beneficiary designation, that payout won’t go through probate—even if she had a will.’ We’ve seen a 58% increase in trust setup appointments since the AI began guiding callers through asset bypass strategies. It even reminds them to update beneficiary forms on retirement accounts—critical for avoiding unintended heirs.”

“We serve many clients setting up irrevocable trusts for long-term care planning. The AI remembers every client’s trust type, grantor name, and beneficiary structure. When a client calls to update a trustee, the AI says, ‘Ms. Patel, you established an irrevocable trust in 2021 for your daughter’s education. Would you like to discuss changing the trustee now?’ This level of recall has reduced our intake time by 40% and increased client satisfaction scores by 31%.”
