Estate Plan Intake and Document Review
An estate-planning intake flowchart gives a client and their adviser one shared view of the work before documents are signed. It begins with the information that shapes a plan: family circumstances, assets, goals, and existing records. A completeness check keeps missing records from being silently carried into drafting. The drawing then separates professional review, drafting, and the client approval loop. That makes it useful for explaining the process to a client, onboarding staff, or documenting an internal matter workflow. It is a process map, not legal advice or a substitute for jurisdiction-specific documents.

Scenario
Initial estate-planning engagement
Key decisions
- Complete records: Missing information returns to the request step.
- Attorney review: The proposed plan is checked before drafting.
- Client approval: Drafts are revised until the client accepts them.
When to reuse this
Use for a high-level client intake and document-preparation workflow; local legal requirements still need professional review.
