Estate Planning Intake: AI-Generated Custom Questionnaires That Catch What Templates Miss

The premise
A custom questionnaire surfaces issues the standard intake misses; AI builds custom for every client.
What AI does well here
- Generate intake questionnaires tailored to the client's stated circumstances
- Identify follow-up question categories (e.g., 'business interests' triggers buy-sell, valuation, key-person insurance questions)
- Draft client-friendly explanations of why each question matters
- Produce a checklist of documents the client should bring to the next meeting
What AI cannot do
- Replace the in-person interview where attorneys read non-verbal cues about family dynamics
- Identify capacity issues that require attorney observation
- Substitute for the client's own decision-making about beneficiaries and fiduciaries
