What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, our team spent Fridays buried in probate invoices for trust distributions under Uniform Probate Code, often missing IRS quarterly deadlines. Their custom system now handles everything automatically, saving us about 10 hours a week on 75+ monthly filings. We've even caught a few vendor overcharges in executor fees that slipped through before—it's like having an extra paralegal who never errs on fiduciary reconciliations."
Sarah Jenkins, JD
Senior Estate Planning Partner, Heritage Trust & Estate Law Firm (Midwest Region)
"Implementing this for our 15-attorney firm was a game-changer during peak will-review season for high-net-worth clients. Invoices for executor fees and beneficiary disbursements used to pile up, causing compliance headaches with ABA Model Rule 1.15. Now, approvals route instantly via our secure portal integrated with QuickBooks, and we've reduced errors from 8% to under 1% on 150+ invoices quarterly. ROI was clear in just two months with $12,000 in saved labor."
Michael Torres, MBA

AIQ's tailored automation integrates seamlessly with my Clio and TaxAct setup, tracking flat-fee structures for probate without a hitch. Last quarter alone, it freed up 40 hours for client meetings on inheritance planning, directly boosting my caseload by 20% and revenue by $8,000."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does this automation ensure compliance with estate law regulations?
Our systems are engineered with built-in rules mirroring ABA guidelines and state-specific probate codes. For instance, we automate fiduciary oversight by flagging any invoice discrepancies in trust accounts, generating compliant reports that include all required disclosures. We've consulted with legal experts to embed checks for Model Rule 1.5 on fees, ensuring every step—from approval to payment—leaves an immutable trail. In practice, this has helped firms pass audits without issues, reducing preparation time by half. Unlike off-the-shelf tools, our custom build adapts to your jurisdiction's nuances, like California's unique inheritance tax rules, keeping you audit-ready year-round.
What kind of time savings can estate planning attorneys expect?
Based on deployments in similar firms, attorneys reclaim 10-15 hours weekly from manual tasks like chasing executor reimbursements or reconciling vendor bills for appraisals. One client, handling 50 estates monthly, cut invoice processing from 20 hours to just 4, redirecting time to high-value client advising. This translates to a 300% ROI in the first year, per industry benchmarks from the ABA, as billable hours soar without adding staff. We quantify this upfront during discovery, tailoring to your caseload—whether solo practice or team-based—to deliver measurable efficiency from day one.
Is the system secure for handling sensitive client financial data?
Absolutely—security is paramount in estate planning, where confidentiality breaches can devastate reputations. We use enterprise-grade encryption (AES-256) for all data in transit and at rest, compliant with HIPAA and ABA standards for client info. Access is role-based, so paralegals see only relevant invoices, while partners get full oversight. Our in-house RecoverlyAI platform, used in regulated collections, proves this: zero breaches in three years. We also conduct penetration testing and provide SOC 2 reports, ensuring your trust fund details remain fortified against threats, far beyond basic tools.
How does it integrate with my existing legal software?
We specialize in deep, two-way API integrations with platforms like Clio, PracticePanther, or QuickBooks, creating a seamless flow without data silos. For estate firms, this means invoice data from a will execution auto-populates your billing system, triggering approvals in real-time. No more manual exports—our custom code handles it all, tested for edge cases like multi-jurisdictional estates. A recent integration for a 20-attorney practice synced 95% of invoices automatically, eliminating double-entry errors. We map this during the free consultation, ensuring zero disruption to your workflow.
What if my firm's invoice volume fluctuates with seasons?
Our scalable architecture handles peaks effortlessly, like the surge in probate filings post-holidays. Built on robust frameworks, it processes up to 1,000 invoices monthly without lag, auto-scaling resources as needed. For one seasonal firm, we optimized for Q4 rushes, maintaining 99% accuracy during 300% volume spikes. You own the system, so we fine-tune algorithms for your patterns—predicting busy periods based on historical data—to prevent bottlenecks. This flexibility means no added costs during lulls, just consistent performance aligned with your practice's rhythm.
Can this be customized for flat-fee versus hourly billing structures?
Yes, we tailor the AI to your exact model, distinguishing flat-fee estate setups from hourly consultations. The system auto-classifies invoices, applies caps or milestones per your policies, and generates tiered reports for partners. In a deployment for a boutique firm, this feature streamlined tracking for 60% flat-fee cases, reducing disputes by 40%. We incorporate your fee agreements directly into the logic, ensuring compliance and accurate accruals—vital for trust accounting. It's not one-size-fits-all; we build it to mirror your contracts, boosting transparency and client trust.
