Why generic intake breaks
- Planning, probate, and family disputes sound similar to a generic receptionist.
- Callers may be grieving and need a slower, calmer tone.
- Deadlines, fiduciary authority, and documents determine the next step.
- Existing clients and beneficiaries need different handling.
Call path
- Classify planning vs probate: Estate plan, trust, probate, guardianship, administration, or dispute.
- Collect core facts: County, documents, fiduciary role, death date, deadlines, and involved parties.
- Route relationship calls: Existing clients, beneficiaries, courts, and vendors get separate paths.
- Schedule or message: Book the right consult or send a complete brief to the team.
Estate & Probate intake overlay
- Are you calling about planning, probate, a trust, or a dispute?
- Is someone deceased, and if so, when and in what county?
- Do you have a will, trust, court notice, or other documents?
- What is your relationship to the person or estate?
- Is there a deadline, hearing, or urgent family issue?
Routing and escalation rules
- Existing estate planning clients can route to the assigned team.
- Court notices, hearings, and fiduciary deadlines can trigger priority review.
- Vendors, beneficiaries, and opposing counsel can be tagged as non-leads.
- Planning prospects can be booked into the correct consultation type.
