Lexomatic’s LexDraft Probate system is a turn-key drafting and workflow automation solution for probate attorneys. It was designed by experienced probate attorneys to automate the tasks involved in probate and estate administration. Enter information once in a user-friendly interview, then use the same information to assemble all pleadings, letters, and other forms needed to complete the probate process.
The LexDraft Probate system is downloadable computer software that and requires the Hotdocs document assembly platform and Microsoft Word to operate properly. Conversion to the web-based version is expected in late 2024.
4 Ways LexDraft Will Revolutionize Your Practice
1. LexDraft Saves Time
Time is money. LexDraft Probate can help you produce error-free documents in minutes instead of hours. Our probate modules were designed by attorneys to be the fastest, most efficient document assembly platform on the market. Enter in client information only once, and let LexDraft keep up with everything throughout the probate process.
2. LexDraft Reduces the Risk of Human Error
You never need to worry about someone else’s name being accidentally left in the document, using the wrong court information, or grammatical errors like subject-verb and pronoun-noun disagreement. The documents in our probate modules are smart. Let them do the work for you.
3. LexDraft Provides Seamless Legal Research
Each of our probate modules contains built-in statutory references and links to helpful information. Unlike other probate software, our probate modules are programmatic. We walk you through each step of the process and provide you all of the legal research and practical instruction you need to draft consistent, legally compliant documents.
4. LexDraft Can Help Lower Malpractice Risk
With LexDraft, you can stop worrying about whether you’ve told your clients what they need to know about the probate process. LexDraft is built around client letters that give your clients the essential information regarding their fiduciary responsibilities.
What Makes LexDraft Different
Here are just a few of the reasons why we believe that LexDraft Probate is the most elegant and extensible probate solution on the market.
More than Just Forms
Many document automation products are barely a step above fill-in-the-blank forms. LexDraft is different. We use a task-based interview system that allows you to assemble probate pleadings and correspondence from the same interview window. LexDraft also provides contextual legal education and calculators to automate the probate workflow and keep you on track.
Your Priorities are Our Priorities
We recognize that probate attorneys are often working on tight deadlines. The team at Lexomatic® is committed to keeping LexDraft working exactly as it should. If you have technical or legal questions, you don’t need to worry about ending up in a black-hole support queue for months. We will respond quickly.
Attorney-Designed and Supported
Many document assembly solutions are designed by programmers who don’t understand the probate workflow or the legal issues involved. LexDraft is designed and maintained by experienced probate attorneys with an attention to detail. The framework is frequently updated to include state-of-the-art legal provisions and to reflect best practices for interview design.
Built with Customization in Mind
LexDraft was designed with customization in mind. Unlike many document assembly platforms, we give you choices.
- Use our language. We stand behind our documents. Each document in our LexDraft library is written in plain English and uses attorney-designed language to accomplish legal objectives. If you notice any deficiencies in our language, let us know and we will fix it.
- Build your own. Whether due to personal preference or matters not included in our system, many attorneys want to use their own language in some documents. LexDraft was built to be fully customizable.
The LexDraft framework uses separate templates for customization. Instead of making changes to the framework itself, all customizations are made to the separate template. That means that you can safely update the LexDraft framework without breaking your customizations.
