Practice software for estate planning attorneys

Practice management, built for one practice area.

Per Stirpes runs the estate planning engagement end to end — from the first inquiry to the closed matter. The lifecycle is the product, not a feature.

The lifecycle

From first contact to closed engagement.

Horizontal practice tools serve a hundred practice areas, so they hand you blank pipelines and make staff maintain them. Per Stirpes serves one, and ships its lifecycle whole — ten stages, two sides, and a definition of done for each.

The funnel

Win the engagement

  1. Contact

    Inquiry captured, no client account required

  2. Schedule

  3. Consult

  5. Convert

where the funnel becomes the pipeline

The pipeline

Deliver it

  1. Discovery

    Detailed intake, reviewed answer by answer

  2. Drafting

    Documents assembled from the client record

  3. Reviewing

    Drafts shared with the client

  4. Signing

    Ceremony booked and held

  5. Closing

    Wrap-up and disengagement letter

Stage that maintains itself

Stages aren’t a dropdown anyone keeps honest. They derive from facts the platform already records — a form submitted, a booking confirmed, a letter signed. When the facts change, the board is already right.

What’s inside

The whole engagement, in one place.

Intake

One questionnaire, every document.

Clients answer a structured questionnaire once — by magic link, with no account to create. Answers become canonical client data that every document draws from, instead of details rekeyed into each one.

  • Joint engagements are first-class — spouses share one intake without overwriting each other
  • Prefilled return visits, conditional sections, section-by-section flow
  • Every submitted change is reviewed against the record before it lands

Drafting

Your templates, filled from the record.

Upload the firm’s own Word templates and map their fields once. Drafts resolve from the client record — change a successor trustee and every affected document knows. The engagement letter goes out for e-signature; estate documents execute in person, the way wills actually get signed.

  • Firm-owned .docx templates, mapped once in a guided workbench
  • E-signed engagement letters with the executed PDF stored on the matter
  • Matter files mirror to the firm’s Google Drive automatically

Revocable Living Trust

of Margaret L. Chen

This Declaration of Trust, made this 19th day of March, 2026, by and between Margaret L. Chen, currently residing at 4218 Travis Heights Blvd, Austin, Texas (the “Settlor”), and Margaret L. Chen, of the same address (the “Trustee”)…

Scheduling & billing

The calendar and the money, attached to the matter.

Consults and signing ceremonies book themselves against the attorney’s real calendar. Invoices ride Stripe — clients pay by card from a branded portal, and payment status reconciles itself back onto the matter.

  • Self-booking for consults and signings on Google or Microsoft calendars
  • Card payments via Stripe, with paid status landing on the matter automatically
  • A receivables board that shows what’s outstanding without a spreadsheet

Software for one practice area can know things a hundred-area platform never will.

What a testator is. Which state’s formalities apply. That a married couple is one engagement, not two files. Per Stirpes is built down, not across.
