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
