Attorney Partnership for Estate Management Tools
Why It Works
Lawyers have direct access to target customers and strong incentive to reduce time spent on routine communications
Prerequisites
How to Execute
Identify probate attorneys with recurring client communication pain
Demonstrate billable hour reduction with pilot families
Create attorney-facing dashboard for case management
Offer revenue sharing or referral incentives
Build into attorney workflow rather than separate tool
When It Fails
When attorneys see tool as threat to billable hours or when compliance requirements are too complex
Real Example
“Estate management platform partners with law firms - attorneys recommend platform to reduce client calls, firm saves 40% time on estate communications, platform gets steady customer flow”
