What EstateScribe is
EstateScribe is a web-based workspace for law firms that organizes estate-planning work, from client intake through document review. Clients can provide information through a secure portal branded for their firm, and their submissions appear in the attorney view. The system uses structured interviews and intake data to draft wills, trusts, and ancillary estate-planning documents. Attorneys can refine and customize generated clauses, but remain responsible for reviewing the content and deciding whether it is legally suitable. Firms can also upload Word documents or text files for AI extraction into form fields. The workspace includes client profiles, matter management, completion tracking, review tools, dashboards for progress and deadlines, and estate-plan mapping of trust lifecycles, roles, relationships, assets, and distributions. EstateScribe says it integrates with leading legal case-management systems, though it does not name them. It is accessed through a browser, with no software installation required. Pricing is available on request; the site directs visitors to book a demo and does not state trial terms.
