Using the “Document Packages” Feature in InterActive Legal
December 16, 2022 @ 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm EST
Subscriber Drafting Webinars provide continued training on various aspects of using the InterActive Legal software, usually focusing on drafting particular documents or using certain drafting options. These webinars are free to ILS subscribers. They provide insight and training regarding specific documents and options available within the drafting systems. Subscribers will receive an email outlining the topic of each drafting webinar with instructions for registration.
Webinar Description
Now that we have reached the holiday gift-giving season, it seems only fitting to talk about packages. In this case, however, it’s not a present or gift, but a package of estate planning documents. Most planners are familiar with preparing a group of documents – often called a “package” – that includes one or more testamentary documents plus two or more ancillary documents for incapacity planning. This subscriber drafting webinar will focus on how to work with a group of documents in the program, and also how to set up standard document packages to improve efficiency.
The Document Packages function is available in both the online and legacy versions of InterActive Legal Suite, in all practice systems, and both will be demonstrated in this webinar. We’ll spend the first half hour discussing how to create a set of documents for an individual client, and then how to create custom packages for use with future clients, in the online system. Thereafter, we’ll go through the same process in the legacy system for the remaining half hour. We’ll likely have some time leftover for questions, and we can extend the time a bit to make sure all questions are answered.
If you’ve never used the Document Packages feature, don’t miss this illustration of how it can streamline your drafting process. It’s our practice-enhancing gift to subscribers for the new year!
