Webinar Description

InterActive Legal drafting systems contain hundreds of different options, which can make using the program sometimes feel a bit overwhelming.  Many of the options won’t be needed for most clients, but are nice to have when the situation arises.  So how can you best navigate the numerous drafting options in the program for your most common estate plans?

In this drafting webinar, we will prepare two estate plans – for two separate married couples – from start to finish.  One will include revocable trusts, pour-over wills, and ancillary documents for both spouses, and the other will be similar but will include a joint revocable trust instead of two separate revocable trusts.  During this process, we will demonstrate ways to set up your system to streamline the drafting process, specifically by using custom profiles, pre-set document packages, custom document names, and batch assembly.

In order to save a bit of time, we will demonstrate documents using the Essential Estate Planning system, which has slightly fewer drafting options.  However, the concepts discussed are appropriate for users of all systems.

Join us as we discuss how to more efficiently prepare common “every-day” estate plans, so that more time is available for unique plans that can be more complex and challenging.
