Automate Your Trust & Estate Workflows with AI Data Entry
Stop manual data entry between WealthCounsel and Clio. Our AI extracts client data from intake forms and funding checklists to keep your legal team focused on counsel, not paperwork.
Estate planning firms operate in a document-heavy environment where a single typo in a property deed or beneficiary designation can lead to catastrophic legal errors. Most firms lose 10-15 hours per week manually transcribing data from paper intake forms and client bank statements into drafting software like WealthCounsel or ElderCounsel. This administrative burden often causes delays in trust funding, leaving clients' assets unprotected and the firm liable for incomplete work.
With the average estate plan valued between $2,500 and $5,000, the opportunity cost of manual data entry is staggering. Firms that fail to follow up on trust funding or annual review reminders are leaving six figures on the table. By implementing AI-driven document processing, firms can bridge the gap between their CRM (Clio) and their drafting tools, ensuring that every asset is accounted for and every deadline is met without increasing headcount.
Problems We Solve
Intake Form Transcription Errors
Manual entry of complex beneficiary names, addresses, and asset values from handwritten or PDF intake forms often results in drafting errors that require costly revisions.
Trust Funding Gaps
Firms struggle to track whether clients have successfully moved assets into their trusts. Our AI monitors funding checklists and flags missing bank statements or deeds automatically.
WealthCounsel & Clio Data Silos
Information often exists in the CRM but not the drafting software. We automate the sync of client data across platforms to ensure a single source of truth for every estate plan.
Missed Annual Review Revenue
Attorneys often forget to trigger review reminders for existing clients. AI analyzes document dates to automatically schedule review consultations, capturing lost recurring revenue.
Signing Coordination Logistics
The back-and-forth of scheduling witnesses and notaries for multi-party signings is automated through AI workflows that sync with attorney calendars and client availability.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this handle attorney-client privilege and data security?
All AI processing is done within SOC2-compliant environments. We utilize private LLM instances where your firm's data is never used to train public models, maintaining strict fiduciary confidentiality.
Can the AI read handwritten intake forms?
Yes, our advanced OCR (Optical Character Recognition) is trained on legal-specific handwriting styles and can accurately extract data from traditional paper questionnaires used in initial consultations.
Does this work with Clio and WealthCounsel simultaneously?
Absolutely. We specialize in 'middle-ware' automation that takes data from a Clio matter and formats it specifically for the import requirements of WealthCounsel or Estates & Trusts by HotDocs.
What happens if the AI makes a mistake on a document?
We implement a 'Human-in-the-Loop' (HITL) verification step. The AI flags low-confidence data points for your paralegal to review before any data is pushed to your drafting software.
How long does the initial setup take?
A standard implementation for an estate planning firm typically takes 3 to 5 weeks, including the mapping of your specific intake forms and integration with your CRM.
Can this help with trust funding and asset verification?
Yes, this is one of our most popular use cases. The AI scans bank statements and deeds to verify they are correctly titled in the name of the trust, automating the funding verification process.
