Most law firms never expect funding to become the most difficult part of the process.

What begins as a routine task often turns into missing documents, delayed responses, and hours of staff time spent chasing information.

Without a defined system, files remain open for too long. Clients disengage, and the chance to build long-term relationships disappears. In many cases, clients assume the work is already complete or lose trust in the process entirely.

This does more than slow things down. It affects client satisfaction, limits team capacity, and cuts off a key source of future referrals.

Some firms won't even offer funding services, because they've heard the horror stories of backlogged files, unhappy clients and overworked team. With the right system in place, it can become one of the most efficient and profitable areas of your firm. The next step is learning how to make that happen and stop leaving money and relationships on the table!

Laney Lyons  

For decades, I have helped estate planning law firms simplify and strengthen their funding operations. The systems I have developed improve efficiency, reduce risk, and create consistent revenue without adding strain to internal teams.

One of my earliest projects involved organizing a backlog of more than 100 incomplete funding files within six months. That experience became the foundation for a repeatable process I later used to manage annual funding updates for a program serving over one thousand clients. This allowed firms to stay current without losing time or accuracy.

To solve common workflow issues, I created a step-by-step funding system that moves each client from intake to completion with fewer delays and minimal oversight. That system became the core of a national funding outsource company that managed thousands of files from beginning to end.

Now I teach this process to law firms ready to bring funding in-house. With the right structure in place, firms can deliver better client service, reduce administrative burden, and turn funding into a dependable source of growth.
