Relaw for Estate Planning Attorneys: Complete Practice Guide (2026)
If you practice estate planning, you do not need another generic "AI for lawyers" pitch. You need a system that collects client facts cleanly, produces your pack, captures design meetings, and stays connected to Clio or your drafting ecosystem.
This is the canonical Relaw guide for estate planning attorneys in 2026.
What Relaw is (for EP firms)
Relaw is an AI-native platform for law firms with a strong trusts-and-estates center of gravity. In the attorney app you work from:
- Clients / matters
- Meetings
- Templates
- AI Studio
- Settings (billing, integrations, Word add-in token, organization)
Matter tabs include AI Assistant, Generate Documents, Matter Vault, Sync & Export, and Questionnaire.
Core estate planning workflow
1. Clients and matters
Create individual or organization clients, then open matters tied to a questionnaire template. Use the standard Estate Planning Law workspace or a customized firm template.
2. Smart Intake
Send a branded questionnaire link. Clients (and co-clients) complete sections and upload documents to the vault. Use automated follow-ups and pipeline reminders when forms stall.
3. Design meeting with notetaker
Connect Google or Microsoft calendars. Relaw's notetaker joins Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams, and phone call notetaking is available. Link meetings to the matter, then review summaries and suggested questionnaire updates.
4. Generate the planning pack
Attach your DOCX and PDF templates. Generate wills, trusts, POAs, directives, and funding-related documents from intake data. Group and batch download for review.
5. Draft and revise with AI + Word
- Matter AI Assistant for context-aware help
- AI Studio for blueprint-based drafting (Library, Draft, Draft History)
- Microsoft Word add-in for in-Word work
6. Deliver and fund
Use pipelines so signing and funding are separate stages. Keep statements and deeds in the Matter Vault until funding is done.
7. Sync
Push or align contacts/matters with Clio, Lawmatics, MyCase, PracticePanther, WealthCounsel, or Interactive Legal as your firm requires.
