Lawyers · Estate Planning

Estate planning starts with better client data.

Estate planning questionnaires are comprehensive, sensitive, and time-consuming to collect manually. Clients need time to gather asset details, think through beneficiary choices, and locate account information. Docuplete turns your estate planning intake into a structured digital interview — clients fill at their own pace with autosave, and you receive complete information ready for drafting.

The problem

Why estate planning intake creates so much back-and-forth.

Complex questionnaires requiring research

Estate planning intake covers real property, financial accounts, business interests, beneficiaries, trustees, executors, and healthcare directives — information clients can't provide off the top of their head.

Multiple follow-up rounds

Clients submit incomplete questionnaires, requiring follow-up calls before drafting can begin.

Sensitive information via insecure channels

Clients are asked to email SSNs, account numbers, and asset values — data that should never travel in plain-text email.

Manual re-entry into drafting tools

Paralegal time spent copying information from questionnaires into will, trust, and POA templates.

How it works

Clients fill at their own pace. You receive complete intake.

1

Upload your estate planning questionnaire

Upload the comprehensive intake form you use for will, trust, and estate planning engagements.

2

Build a guided, structured interview

Each section — personal information, family, assets, beneficiaries, preferences — becomes a guided interview. Autosave lets clients stop and return.

3

Send clients a secure unique link

Clients receive a tokenised link and complete the interview over days if needed — gathering account statements, locating deeds, and considering their choices.

4
