How Relaw runs probate matters.
Common work product
Application for Probate · Request for Letters · Inventory and Appraisement · Notice to Beneficiaries · Order Admitting Will
Examples only. Relaw generates from the firm's own configured Word and PDF templates; no legal forms are bundled.
- 01
The application uses the facts once.
Decedent, will, applicant, and devisees are intake. The filing and the notices do not get a second keyboard.
- 02
Probate and non-probate stay distinct.
What the court must pass and what already transferred is structured on the matter, so the inventory does not invent assets.
- 03
Hearings and calls land on the file.
Notetaker joins the conference or the call with the executor. The next draft already has what was said.
The single-pane practice
From first death call to letters and beyond.
Probate combines a dense relationship record with court-facing procedure. Relaw keeps the decedent, will, heirs, devisees, applicant, filings, notices, hearings, and court responses in one chronology while the court remains authoritative.

The matter lifecycle
Run the whole probate matter here.
The record compounds as the matter moves. Facts, files, decisions, communications, and follow-through do not reset at every stage.
- 01
Open
Establish the people, instrument, and procedure.
Capture the decedent, venue, original will and codicils, applicant, heirs, devisees, and probable path.
In Relaw: One verified interested-party record feeds the firm’s work.
- 02
Petition
Prepare the filing from current facts.
Coordinate consents, waivers, notices, bond materials, proposed orders, and supporting documents.
In Relaw: Drafts come from firm templates mapped to the matter—not a generic form library.
- 03
Obtain authority
Keep hearings and deficiencies in the chronology.
Registrar or court review can create cures, testimony, revised papers, and follow-up.
In Relaw: Every response and meeting remains connected to the filing it affects.
- 04
Transition
Move into administration without starting over.
Letters, required notices, inventory work, and later administration reuse the same people and asset record.
In Relaw: The matter continues from appointment into fiduciary work.
The matter record
Structure the facts the work keeps reusing.
Probate work is not a folder of files. It is a changing set of people, dates, decisions, evidence, and obligations that every later draft depends on.
Interested parties
Every person’s legal capacity and notice position.
- Heirs
- Devisees
- Applicants
- Minors and representatives
Court chronology
What was filed, returned, heard, and ordered.
- Filings
- Service and notice
- Deficiencies
- Hearings and orders

FAQ
Direct answers.
What Relaw is, what it is not, and what clients see.
No. Relaw is the workspace around the filing: facts, documents, and follow-through. You still file where the court requires. The application and letters generate from the matter instead of a blank form.
