The High-Stakes Risk of Missed Calls
After-Hours Probate Emergencies Go Unanswered – 60% of Legal Emergencies Occur Outside Business Hours
When a loved one passes unexpectedly, families often reach out immediately—frequently after 8 PM or on weekends. Yet 60% of legal emergencies in estate planning and probate occur outside business hours, and with 35% of law firm calls going unanswered, critical moments for initiating estate administration, securing a Last Will and Testament, or appointing a Trustee are lost. For example, a client calling at 10:30 PM after a parent’s sudden death may need immediate guidance on whether to file for probate or initiate intestate succession—delays can result in missed deadlines for filing documents or securing beneficiary designations, increasing the risk of litigation and family disputes.
Clients in Crisis Skip Voicemails – 73% Hang Up Without Leaving a Message
In the emotional aftermath of a death, clients overwhelmed by grief often hang up without leaving a voicemail—especially when they’re unsure what to say or fear they’ll sound irrational. This is especially common during sensitive moments like when a client needs to discuss a Testamentary Trust for minor beneficiaries, update their Advance Healthcare Directive, or resolve a contested beneficiary designation. With 73% of callers hanging up without leaving a message, critical intake opportunities vanish—particularly when the client is in the early stages of estate administration and needs to act within 30 days of death to avoid probate delays.
Attorneys Divert from Billable Work to Handle After-Hours Intake – 90% of Calls Missed by Solo Practitioners
Sole practitioners and small estate planning firms often handle after-hours calls themselves, pulling attorneys away from high-value billable work like drafting Durable Power of Attorney documents, reviewing Trustee responsibilities, or preparing for contested probate hearings. One estate planning attorney reported spending 12 hours per week returning missed calls—time that could have been spent on estate tax planning or client meetings. With 90% of after-hours calls going unanswered by solo practitioners, this inefficiency directly impacts revenue and client service quality, especially during peak estate administration seasons like January and April.

Why Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers Choose Answrr
Capture 3x Higher Conversion Leads
Answrr captures after-hours calls from clients seeking urgent help with probate filings, trustee appointments, or drafting a Last Will and Testament. For example, a client calling at 11:15 PM after a sudden death is immediately guided through a brief intake: 'We’re sorry for your loss. Could you confirm if the deceased had a will? Are you the appointed Trustee or executor? Would you like to schedule a consultation to begin estate administration?' The system books a same-day appointment via Calendly, reducing the average response time from 48 hours to under 15 minutes—increasing conversion by 3x compared to voicemail-only responses.
Book Appointments Instantly
Answrr integrates with Cal.com and GoHighLevel to book consultations in real time, even during non-business hours. For instance, a client calling at 7:45 PM after a parent’s death is asked, 'Would you like to meet with an attorney tomorrow morning to discuss probate options and beneficiary designations?' The AI instantly checks availability, books a 30-minute consultation for 8:30 AM the next day, and sends a confirmation with a link to a pre-consultation form—covering key items like the Last Will and Testament status, existence of a Testamentary Trust, and whether an Advance Healthcare Directive was in place.
Build Trust with Natural Conversations
Powered by Rime Arcana, Answrr uses empathetic, natural-sounding language tailored to estate planning emergencies. When a client calls at 2:17 AM, the AI responds: 'I’m here to help. I understand this is a difficult time. Could you tell me if the deceased had a Trustee named in their trust? We can begin estate administration right away to protect the beneficiaries.' The system remembers prior interactions—such as a client previously mentioning a need for a Testamentary Trust for grandchildren—and surfaces that context during follow-up, improving client trust and reducing redundant questions.
Real Results from Real Businesses
“As a solo estate planning attorney in suburban Chicago, I was losing nearly 90% of after-hours calls—especially during the winter months when probate filings spike. One night, a client called at 10:45 PM after her father passed—she didn’t know whether to file for probate or if he had a Trustee. Answrr answered immediately, asked the right questions, and booked her a consultation for 8:30 AM the next day. She came in with her Last Will and Testament and a list of beneficiaries. We drafted a Testamentary Trust for her niece within 48 hours. That client became a long-term client and referred two others. Answrr didn’t just capture leads—it saved my practice from losing critical estate administration work.”
Linda Chen, Esq.
Owner & Lead Estate Planning Attorney, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“We handle 15–20 probate cases per month, and 70% of them start with a panicked call after hours. Before Answrr, we’d miss 60% of those calls. Now, when a client calls at 9:15 PM after a sudden death, Answrr asks: 'Is the deceased’s estate valued over $100,000? Are you the executor or trustee? Would you like to begin estate administration today?' It books a consultation and sends a pre-appointment checklist—covering Advance Healthcare Directive status, Durable Power of Attorney, and beneficiary designations. We’ve reduced our average intake time from 3 days to under 2 hours. It’s transformed how we handle emergencies.”
David Thompson, Esq.
Managing Partner, Thompson & Reed Estate Law, Estate Planning & Probate Lawyers
“I used to spend 10 hours a week returning voicemails—many from clients who needed help with intestate succession or updating their Letter of Instruction. Now, Answrr handles all after-hours calls, books appointments, and even sends automated reminders: 'Don’t forget to update your beneficiary designations for your IRA and life insurance policy.' One client scheduled a consultation after a call at 1:30 AM, and we helped her avoid probate by transferring assets into a Living Trust. Her gratitude—and her referral—were worth more than the time saved.”
