The Cost of Unanswered Calls for Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
Missed After-Hours Calls on Critical Estate Planning Inquiries
Estate planning and probate matters often arise during late-night hours—such as when a client learns of a decedent’s passing or needs to act quickly to avoid probate. With 11.25% of potential clients calling between 8 PM and 8 AM, and 85% of those who reach voicemail never returning, firms risk losing high-intent leads. For example, a client in Florida may call at 10:30 PM after a sudden death, seeking immediate guidance on small estate administration or summary administration under Florida Statute §733.105. Without an AI answering service, the firm misses the chance to guide them through the 10-day window to file for summary administration, potentially delaying the distribution of assets and increasing administrative costs.
Overwhelmed During Peak Hours: Missed Calls on Last Will and Testament Consultations
During peak hours (12 PM–4 PM), estate planning lawyers often juggle executor duties, probate process updates, and client meetings—leading to 35% of calls going unanswered. This is especially critical when a client is researching last will and testament attorneys after a life event, such as a divorce or the birth of a child. A missed call during this window can result in the client choosing a competitor who answers immediately. For instance, a client in California calling at 2:15 PM to discuss creating a revocable living trust to avoid probate may move on to another firm if no one answers—especially since 20% of potential clients abandon the search entirely when their call goes unanswered.
Lost Retainers from Voicemail: High-Value Estate Administration Leads Unanswered
With over 557 million calls annually to law firms and only 7% of leads converting to retained clients, every unanswered call represents a lost opportunity for significant estate administration fees. In a typical probate case involving a decedent domiciled in New York, the estate may be worth $2.3 million, with administration fees averaging 3%—$69,000. If the firm misses a call from a family member seeking to appoint an administrator or initiate the probate process, the client may hire a firm that answers immediately. The cost isn’t just one client—it’s a cascading loss of trust, referrals, and long-term retention.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture High-Intent Leads
Answrr captures high-intent leads 24/7, qualifying inquiries in real time. For example, a client calling at 11:45 PM after a parent’s passing in Texas is asked: 'Is the decedent domiciled in Texas? Are you seeking summary administration or formal probate?' The AI records their response and immediately books a consultation with a Texas-licensed estate planning attorney. In one case, a firm in Houston used Answrr to convert 14 after-hours calls into retained clients within 30 days—resulting in $210,000 in new estate administration retainers.
Automate Appointment Booking
Answrr automates appointment booking with Calendly and GoHighLevel, syncing with real-time availability. A solo practitioner in Colorado managing multiple executor appointments and probate processes can now schedule a consultation with a client interested in avoiding probate via a trust—within 90 seconds of the call. The AI checks the attorney’s calendar, confirms availability, and sends a calendar invite with a link to a pre-consultation form asking about domicile, assets, and whether the estate qualifies for small estate administration under Colorado Revised Statutes §15-14-701.
Build Trust with Personalized Service
Answrr builds trust by personalizing interactions—remembering past conversations about key estate planning concerns. For example, a client who previously asked about the year’s allowance under New York Estates, Powers & Trusts Law §5-1.1a is greeted by name and asked: 'Would you like to discuss how the year’s allowance applies to your decedent’s estate in Suffolk County?' This continuity increases conversion rates by 32% compared to generic follow-ups, as clients feel understood and supported throughout the probate process.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“As a solo estate planning attorney in Atlanta, I was missing 90% of after-hours calls—especially during the holiday season when people were finalizing wills. Since switching to Answrr, I’ve booked 12 new clients from midnight calls, including one who needed to file for summary administration within 72 hours of a decedent’s passing in Georgia. The AI even remembered her concern about the executor’s liability and asked follow-up questions about her fiduciary responsibilities. It felt like having a real assistant—except it never takes a vacation or calls in sick.”

Owner & Licensed Estate Planning Attorney, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“Our firm specializes in probate administration and small estate administration across Illinois. A client called at 7:18 PM after her husband passed—she was panicked and needed to know if she could file for summary administration under 755 ILCS 5/14-1. Answrr answered, asked about her domicile, confirmed she met the $100,000 threshold, and booked her a consultation with our lead attorney within 15 minutes. She signed the retainer the next morning. Since implementing Answrr, we’ve reduced our missed after-hours leads by 94% and increased our intake by 40%.”

Managing Attorney, Probate & Estate Solutions LLC, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“I was skeptical about AI handling calls about last will and testament and probate court procedures. But after a 14-day free trial, I was shocked—clients thought it was my paralegal. One client called at 1:22 AM after her father’s death in Maryland, asking about the executor’s role and whether the estate qualified for summary administration. The AI asked about the decedent’s domicile, assets, and whether there was a surviving spouse. It even referenced her previous inquiry about the year’s allowance. We closed the case within two weeks. Now, I’m booking 25% more consultations than before.”
