Probate can add a practice area to your firm that is:

Recession Proof

People will always pass away and their loved ones will need legal help.

Incredibly Profitable & Highly Leveraged

Probate is form-driven and 90% of your case can be done by a team member if you have a good, proactive process for it.

An Easy Close

Clients aren’t spending their money to hire you, the estate pays for your fees so the close isn’t difficult. It isn’t a luxury sale and most clients are also inheriting money so they are not as fee sensitive.

Cross Sell

A built in cross sell for your estate planning practice.

A Better Way

A way to help families experience a better way after the loss of a loved one.

Let’s address the 4 Probate Myths:

Probate isn’t a long, miserable process. You just need an effective process to proactively manage it.
Probate isn’t a heavy court appearance process.
Your clients don’t have to be needy and time-consuming.
Probate is not a lot of work. It’s highly leveraged and paralegal driven. Spoiler alert – we have paralegal recommendations for you to contract.

"What I love most about Laney is that she genuinely cares about helping you succeed. Her teaching style is so approachable and easy to follow. She never makes you feel silly for asking questions, and she’s always ready to dive into real-world scenarios when they come up. The whole atmosphere is really comfortable and supportive.

Honestly, I walked away feeling so much more confident about handling probate matters.

If you want to learn from someone who really knows what they’re doing and wants to see you win, take Laney’s course. You won’t regret it!"

- Tracey C, Maryland and D.C.

"Probate Plug and Play is a must for attorneys and paralegals who want to master the probate process from start to finish. It covers everything from initial filings to final distributions with clear, practical guidance.

Even with my prior probate experience, I walked away with deeper insights and more confident grasp of the process.

Laney's many years of experience as a paralegal in the field were obvious as the tools and guidance she provided on how to streamline the process and create a great client experience were invaluable.

Highly recommended for both beginners and those looking to sharpen existing knowledge."

- C.J.B., Washington

"This course gave me and my staff exactly what I needed—clear, practical guidance and tools I could use right away.

What I liked best was how easy it was to understand and apply, even with a busy schedule.

It made a complex process feel manageable and empowering."

- Massachusetts

 

"Even though I've done dozens of probates, I've found your training invaluable - not so much in terms of the processes (I think I have a pretty good handle on what California requires) but in terms of the "selling" tips and how to approach a potential client - as well as the worksheets, etc. you've provided."

- Janet B, California
