The "Lead Mismatch" Problem
Chasing unqualified inquiries from broad marketing campaigns targeting revocable living trusts, resulting in 70% of leads lacking the $1M+ net worth threshold for viable estate planning engagements
Struggling to identify high-net-worth individuals amid KYC and AML regulatory compliance hurdles under SEC and FINRA guidelines
Overloaded calendars with initial consultations on basic wills that rarely convert to billable estate plans involving irrevocable life insurance trusts
Data silos between secure intake forms for beneficiary designations and CRM systems, preventing accurate prospect evaluation for probate eligibility
Missing subtle signals of urgency in family succession planning discussions, such as mentions of intergenerational wealth transfer via grantor retained annuity trusts
Compliance risks from pursuing leads without proper vetting for fiduciary suitability under Uniform Fiduciaries Act and ERISA standards

What Clients Say
"Before AIQ Labs, we were scheduling too many initial calls that went nowhere—mostly people just browsing for basic revocable trust advice without the assets to back it up. Their lead scoring system now flags serious inquiries about asset protection via irrevocable life insurance trusts right away. In the last six months, we've closed 12 new estate plans over $500K each in AUM, and our team's billable utilization is up 30%. It's like having an extra paralegal who never sleeps, fully integrated with our Clio practice management software."
Margaret Ellis
Senior Partner, Ellis & Associates Law Firm
"Estate planning leads were a mess with our old CRM setup; we'd get inquiries from folks without the net worth to justify our services in complex probate. The custom AI from AIQ Labs scores them based on our specific criteria, like family office involvement and mentions of dynasty trusts. We've cut down on wasted consults from 40% to under 10%, and automated AML compliance checks are baked in. Honestly, it's transformed how we qualify for multi-jurisdictional estate administrations."
David Chen
Managing Attorney, Chen Legacy Planning
"I was skeptical about AI in legal work, but this lead scoring tool has been a game-changer for our small firm specializing in charitable giving. It prioritizes leads mentioning charitable remainder unitrusts (CRUTs), which align with our niche in tax-efficient philanthropy. Last quarter, we converted three scored leads into retainers totaling $1.2M in managed assets—without adding staff. The seamless integration with our secure client portal via API ensured no data leaks under SOC 2 compliance."

Why We're Different
What's Included
Common Questions
How does your lead scoring handle the confidentiality requirements in estate planning?
We prioritize data security by building the system on your owned infrastructure, using end-to-end encryption for all lead information—from initial inquiries about powers of attorney to detailed asset disclosures. Unlike cloud-based generics, our custom models process sensitive data locally, ensuring compliance with ABA Model Rule 1.6 on confidentiality. We've audited against GDPR and CCPA equivalents, and include automated anonymization for training data. In practice, this means no third-party access to client details on inheritances, reducing breach risks to near zero while scoring leads accurately for high-conversion potential.
Can this system integrate with my existing legal CRM like Clio?
Absolutely. We design two-way API integrations that sync lead scores directly into Clio, updating fields like custom tags for 'high-intent trust inquiries' in real-time. For estate attorneys, this pulls data from matter notes on family dynamics and pushes scores back to prioritize calendar slots. Our process starts with a mapping session to align with your workflow, ensuring no data loss during syncs. Firms using similar setups report a 50% drop in manual updates, allowing more time for substantive work on revocable living trusts without disrupting your established processes.
What metrics does the scoring model use for estate planning leads?
Our bespoke model evaluates 25+ tailored metrics, including engagement depth with content on probate avoidance, estimated net worth from public indicators, and behavioral signals like downloading estate tax calculators. For your practice, we customize weights—e.g., prioritizing leads mentioning charitable bequests over basic will seekers. This isn't generic; it's trained on your past conversions, achieving 92% accuracy in identifying billable cases. Regular tuning keeps it aligned with evolving client needs, like post-2024 tax law changes affecting generation-skipping trusts.
How long does it take to see ROI from implementing lead scoring?
Most estate planning firms see tangible results within 4-6 weeks. Initial setup involves 2-3 weeks for model training on your data, followed by integration testing. Early wins include a 30-40% reduction in low-quality consultations, translating to 10-15 hours saved per attorney monthly. One client recouped implementation costs in two months through three additional $300K estate plans closed from scored leads. Long-term, expect sustained 35% uplift in conversion rates, directly impacting revenue from high-value services like special needs trusts.
Is the system compliant with financial regulations like SEC rules?
Yes, we embed compliance from the ground up. For estate attorneys dealing with investment-tied planning, the model flags leads needing RIA disclosures under SEC Regulation Best Interest. It avoids scoring based on non-public info, adhering to strict data minimization. Our audits confirm alignment with FINRA and state bar rules, with built-in logging for audit trails on lead vetting. This proactive approach has helped firms avoid fines while focusing on qualified prospects for holistic wealth transfer strategies.
What if our lead volume is low or seasonal?
Our system is designed for scalability, performing optimally even with 50-100 leads quarterly—common for boutique estate practices. It adapts to seasonality, like spikes during year-end gifting periods, by dynamically adjusting thresholds for scoring. For low-volume firms, we incorporate broader signals from referral networks and content interactions to enrich data without overwhelming your pipeline. Clients in similar situations have seen a 25% increase in qualified leads by year two, building a steady flow for services like dynasty trusts.
