The High-Stakes Cost of Missed Calls

60%

Clients in Crisis Can’t Reach You During Time-Sensitive Probate Transitions

Estate transitions—such as the death of a loved one—often trigger urgent legal needs like initiating probate, identifying beneficiaries, or appointing an executor. With 60% of legal emergencies occurring after business hours, a missed call during a 3 a.m. call about intestate succession or the need to file a Last Will and Testament with the court can result in delayed asset distribution, increased family conflict, and irreversible loss of trust. For Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers, this isn’t just a missed call—it’s a missed opportunity to step in as the trusted fiduciary during a high-stakes moment.

$5,000

Missed Intake Calls Cost $7,500+ in Lost Probate & Estate Planning Revenue

A single missed call from a client seeking help with estate administration, revocable living trust funding, or drafting an Advance Healthcare Directive can cost your firm $7,500 in lost revenue—based on average case value for complex estate planning and probate matters. For example, a client calling after hours to discuss executor responsibilities for a $1.2M estate with multiple beneficiaries may never return if they don’t speak to a live person. With 35% of law firm calls going unanswered, your firm risks losing these high-value clients to competitors who answer immediately.

35%

After-Hours Calls Go to Voicemail—And Never Get Returned

When a grieving family member calls at 10 p.m. seeking guidance on whether to file for probate or how to handle a Durable Power of Attorney, and your line is busy or unanswered, they hang up—often never to call back. With 73% of callers hanging up without leaving a voicemail, and 80% of those who don’t reach a live person never returning, your firm loses not just the case, but the opportunity to guide the family through critical decisions like beneficiary designation, estate tax planning, or managing an estate during the 90-day probate window.

Our after-hours answering service answers with a professional script that confirms the caller’s name, relationship to the decedent, and urgency, then immediately books a consultation for a Last Will and Testament review or revocable living trust funding within 24 hours—ensuring your firm is the first to respond during a critical window.

3-times higher conversion rate for after-hours calls, according to Law Firm Marketing Pros (2024)

The system integrates with your calendar to book a 30-minute consultation during your next available slot, including a pre-call form for the client to upload documents like the death certificate, original Last Will and Testament, or trust documents—reducing manual follow-up by 80% and ensuring no lead is lost.

The system remembers past interactions, such as a client previously asking about intestate succession in Florida, and references that context when they call again, making the experience feel personalized and professional—even at 2:15 a.m.

Real Results from Real Businesses

We had a client call at 11:45 p.m. after her father passed—she was overwhelmed and didn’t know whether to file for probate or if his revocable living trust was still valid. Answrr answered, confirmed the situation, and booked her a 9 a.m. appointment the next day. She walked in with her death certificate and trust documents already prepared. That case, valued at $900,000 in assets, would have been lost if we hadn’t answered. Now, we’re the go-to firm for estate transitions in our county.

Now, our AI receptionist handles calls about Durable Power of Attorney, Advance Healthcare Directive, and beneficiary designations—booking appointments and sending a pre-intake form with instructions to bring the original Last Will and Testament.

One of our clients called at 1:20 a.m. after discovering her sister had passed without a will. She was confused about intestate succession and how to appoint an executor. Answrr answered, guided her through the process, and booked her a consultation within 90 minutes. She arrived with all the documents, and we filed the petition for probate the next day. That case, which included a family home and retirement accounts, was worth $1.3M. Without after-hours support, we’d have lost her to a competitor.
