About Legsys
Probate is paperwork, deadlines, and judgment under pressure: inventories, accountings, beneficiary disputes, and court filings that can't slip. Legsys was built by estate attorneys and engineers to replace the spreadsheets and scattered folders with a single intelligent dashboard.
Documents are reviewed and summarized automatically, every estate carries a live risk score, and a private AI assistant trained on your matter, never shared. It answers the questions that used to mean an hour in the file room.
See How It WorksThe Platform
Every capability your probate practice needs working together on a single, secure platform built around how estates are actually administered.
Upload wills, trusts, deeds, account statements, and court filings: Legsys reads, classifies, and produces a plain-language summary of every document in seconds, with citations back to the source page.
Track every estate you administer in one portfolio view: assets, liabilities, beneficiaries, and stage of probate. Track valuations and a have clear picture of where each matter stands today.
Every estate gets a live risk score from contested-asset, deadline, and complexity signals. Every attorney sees a workload-and-exposure risk score, so partners can rebalance matters before a problem becomes a malpractice claim.
Ask questions in plain English: "What's the residue after specific bequests?" or "Which assets still need an appraisal?" Answers come from your matter alone, on private models. Nothing is shared, and nothing trains a public AI.
Statutory deadlines, court dates, creditor-claim windows, and accounting due dates are calculated automatically per jurisdiction and synced to your calendar with escalating reminders so nothing is ever filed late.
Generate polished, court-ready accountings and warm, plain-language updates for beneficiaries. Generate internal reports on matter status, attorney workload, and risk for partner review. One click, fully branded.
