You don’t want just simple Documents which look “good” – You want a Plan!

Using AI for estate planning might sound easy, but shortcuts can cost your family big. AI is only as good as the info it gets—miss one detail and your plan falls apart. Want someone to guide you through tough decisions or family drama? AI won’t do it. And if something goes wrong, there’s no one to blame but yourself. With an attorney, at least you know who’s responsible.

AI Doesn’t Know Your Real Life

Estate planning isn’t just filling out forms. Got a blended family? Own a business? Worries about special needs? AI can’t ask follow-up questions or customize for your situation. One missed step—like an outdated beneficiary or ignored tax strategy—and your heirs could lose hundreds of thousands. AI just prints documents. Lawyers spot problems before they cost you.]

No Conversation, No Advice

When the tough conversations come up—like choosing who’s in charge if you’re gone, or splitting assets among stepchildren—AI doesn’t coach or help. A real attorney talks through options and helps prevent fights. Example: I saw a family use AI to draft a basic will. It ignored their business. Years later, siblings wound up in court fighting for control. AI didn’t see trouble coming; an attorney would have.

Responsibility Matters

If you trust AI and something fails, there’s nowhere to turn. If you rely on a lawyer and the plan doesn’t work, you know exactly where to go for answers and help. Don’t gamble with your family’s future—a shortcut is never worth the risk.
