AI Support Built for Estate Planning Attorneys

The pace of legal work doesn’t always match the pace of information. Whether you're looking for a summary of a client’s uploaded documents or need to confirm who is named as a trustee, getting answers quickly is critical to working efficiently and delivering excellent service.

That’s where the AI Estate Planning Assistant comes in. This built-in feature of the Trust & Will for Attorneys platform acts like a virtual assistant—available from any page of your dashboard to surface key client insights, answer estate planning questions, and help you stay in flow.

What Is the AI Assistant?

The AI Assistant is an integrated chat feature that allows attorneys to ask questions across client data, uploaded documents, estate plan summaries, and platform functionality.

Whether you're onboarding a new client or preparing for a review meeting, the Assistant helps you move faster and access what you need without switching tools.

Use the Assistant to:

  • Pull data from existing documents

  • Clarify estate planning terms or roles

  • Summarize client plans

  • Locate information about uploaded wills, trusts, or powers of attorney

  • Access platform support and product information

The conversation stays open across the platform, so attorneys can keep helpful responses available as they move between client profiles and dashboard pages.

Key Features for Attorneys

Client Plan Summaries

Ask the Assistant to summarize a client's estate plan, including roles such as executors, trustees, agents, and guardians. Quickly access beneficiary details or confirm if final arrangement preferences are on file.

Uploaded Document Support

The Assistant can extract data from uploaded documents and respond to specific questions. For example, attorneys can ask who is named in a trust or when a document was last signed.

Estate Planning Knowledge

Use the Assistant to refresh on legal definitions, compare document types, or explore questions about estate planning structures and strategies. All without disrupting your focus.
