About this template
Estate planning is four conversations most families put off. This project takes one client through them in order and coordinates with the lawyer where one is needed. It sells nothing by itself; it is what makes you the family's advisor.
Tips from the template
- Name the project after the client or the couple.
- Do the inventory before anything else; the rest follows from it.
- Keep the lawyer's contact in the description of the will task.
