The stress-free way to run a Georgia estate planning practice.
From client intake to signed engagement to delivered package — Legacy Docs HQ handles the workflow, so you can focus on the lawyering. Built for solo and small-firm Georgia attorneys who are done fighting templates, $5,000 platforms, and 1990s software.
You picked estate planning because you love the law — drafting plans that protect families, navigating the tax code, sitting across from people during the hardest moments of their lives.
What you didn't sign up for: hunting down templates that almost match Georgia. Re-keying intake answers into Word files. Reminding clients three times to send back the signed engagement letter. Paying $400 a month for a platform that still makes you fix the funding language by hand.
Legacy Docs HQ takes the workflow off your shoulders — so the work you actually love is the work you get to do.

Step 1

Step 2

New · Advanced Planning
For the clients whose taxable estate needs more than a will and a trust.
Four irrevocable trust generators built for high-net-worth Georgia clients — each modeled on current IRC provisions, IRS rulings, and the case law that defines them. Attorney enters the parameters; the platform produces the document.
SLATIrrevocable
Spousal Lifetime Access Trust
Move wealth out of the estate while your spouse retains indirect access through HEMS distributions.
Authority
IRC §§ 671–679 · Reciprocal trust doctrine (Estate of Lehman, Estate of Grace)
Best fit
Couples whose combined taxable estate is approaching or above the federal exemption.
IDGTIrrevocable
Intentionally Defective Grantor Trust
Sale-to-trust at a frozen value. Grantor pays the income tax on trust income — a tax-free gift to the beneficiaries.
Highly-appreciated low-basis assets with a charitable intent.
Attorney enters the parameters (payout rate, term, beneficiaries, §7520 assumptions). The platform validates against the statute and produces the document. Included in every FirmSuite plan.
Beyond document generation
The whole estate-planning practice, in one workspace.
Drafting is just the start. Legacy Docs HQ handles the workflow before, during, and after every plan.
AI plain-English summaries
Every document the attorney shares to a client portal comes with an auto-generated 7th-grade-reading-level summary — what it does, who is named, what to do next.
In-platform e-signature
Engagement agreements signed in the browser. Client gets an email, signs by typing or drawing, you get an instant notification. No DocuSign account required.
Coordinated spouse planning
Mirror trusts for married couples without retyping shared data. Invite the spouse to a pre-filled confirmation intake — they review, deviate where needed, submit.
AI document chat
Ask questions about any generated document. Helpful for spotting clauses to revise before client meetings or explaining provisions to confused clients.
Smart client touchpoints
Annual review reminders, birthday outreach, and one-click "request an update" emails — automated nudges so plans stay current without you remembering.
Bar verification + lockout
Every new attorney completes Georgia Bar verification within 10 days of signup. Unverified accounts are auto-locked before billing begins. No tire-kickers.
Workspace & seats
Add paralegals, junior attorneys, or admins to your firm workspace with role-based access. Centralized billing — one subscription, the whole team.
Paid legal reviews
Optional revenue add-on: clients pay $150 to have you review a document they upload. Stripe Connect routes payouts directly to your bank (70/30 split — you keep $105).
County-aware recording
Funding instructions and deed language match Georgia’s 159 counties — including the flat $25 recording fee per OCGA § 15-6-77(f).
For your clients
A private vault for the documents you draft.
Every client gets the Legacy Vault — a branded portal where they can read their plan, share access with family, and store signed copies. Included with every Georgia FirmSuite plan.
Built into every plan
No extra setup. No separate billing.
Plain-English summaries
Each shared document comes with a friendly summary — what it is, who’s named, what to do next. Clients understand their plan without calling you.
Family access
Clients invite their spouse, executor, or heir — each gets a role-based view. Heirs see memorial wishes; spouses see the joint plan; executors get read-only access.
Upload signed copies
After execution, clients drop scanned signed copies into the vault for safekeeping. Up to 25 MB per file, private storage, attorney always visible.
Request a legal review
Clients can pay $150 to have you review a document they’ve uploaded. Goes straight to your queue. Stripe Connect handles the payout split automatically.
How we compare
Built for the way Georgia attorneys actually work.
Most estate planning platforms are either too generic, too expensive, or too clunky for solo and small firms. Here's how Legacy Docs HQ stacks up.

Built by a Georgia attorney, for Georgia attorneys.
I practice estate planning in Georgia. The platforms I tried either treated my clients like data entries or charged $400/month for templates I had to rewrite anyway. So I built the workflow I wanted to use.
Every clause references current Georgia law — OCGA Title 53 (Wills & Estates), Title 7 (Banking), and current county recording requirements. When the law changes, we update the templates. You do the lawyering.
OCGA-aligned
References current Georgia statutes.
County-aware
Recording language matches GA counties.
Practitioner-built
Used in live engagements before shipping.
Always current
Templates update when the statutes do.

Enhanced Trust Mode (GST, Crummey, decanting, business provisions)
Advanced Planning suite — SLAT, IDGT, GRAT, CRT (all variants)
Are the documents actually Georgia-specific, or just generic templates with the word "Georgia" pasted in?
Georgia-specific. Every will, trust, POA, and ancillary document references OCGA Title 53 (Wills & Estates), Title 7 (Banking), and Title 31 (Health) where applicable. Funding instructions match Georgia county recording requirements. The templates were drafted by a Georgia attorney who actually files these documents — not adapted from a multistate base.
What about advanced planning — SLATs, IDGTs, GRATs, CRTs?
Included in every FirmSuite plan. The Advanced Planning suite generates four irrevocable trust types: SLAT (IRC §§ 671–679 with reciprocal-trust language), IDGT (IRC § 675(4)(B), set up for a Rev. Rul. 85-13 sale), GRAT (IRC § 2702(b), zeroed-out per Walton), and CRT (IRC § 664 — all five variants: CRAT, STAN-CRUT, NICRUT, NIMCRUT, FLIP-CRUT). Attorney enters parameters (payout rate, term, beneficiaries, §7520 rate). The platform validates against the statute — e.g. 5–50% payout, 10% remainder test for CRATs, term ≤ 20 years — and produces the document. Same Word export and review workflow as the rest of the suite.
Do I have to use AI to draft documents? Can I edit them?
You stay in control. The platform generates a first draft from the intake responses; you can override any field, regenerate with overrides, or edit the final Word file before delivery. Nothing leaves your dashboard without your review.
What happens to my client data?
Your data lives in your account only. We do not share, sell, or train models on client information. Documents export as standard .docx files you can save anywhere. If you cancel, we provide an export of all client records and submissions.
How is this different from WealthCounsel or Clio?
WealthCounsel charges $400+/month and is built for large firms with traditional drafting habits. Clio is a general practice-management tool — it doesn't actually draft estate planning documents. Legacy Docs HQ is the workflow itself: client intake, document generation, engagement e-signature, all in one place, priced for solos and small firms.
Do I need to be a Georgia-licensed attorney to sign up?
Yes. The platform is currently restricted to Georgia-licensed attorneys. You will provide your Georgia bar number at registration, and you agree by signing up that you are an active member of the State Bar of Georgia in good standing. (Other state versions are on the roadmap.)
What does the 10-day free trial actually include?
Full access to your selected plan — send unlimited intake forms, generate unlimited documents, use the engagement e-signature flow. After day 10, your card is charged for the plan you selected. Cancel any time before day 11 from your account settings and you will not be billed.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. You can cancel from your account settings. If you cancel mid-cycle, you retain access until the end of the period you have already paid for, then the account stops billing.
How do clients sign engagement agreements?
Once you generate the agreement, click "Send for Signature." The client receives an email with a secure link, reads the full agreement in their browser, signs by drawing or typing, and you get an instant notification when they're done. No third-party DocuSign account required.
What does the client portal (Legacy Vault) include?
A branded private portal where your clients sign in to view documents you've shared. Every shared document includes a plain-English AI summary written at a 7th-grade reading level so non-lawyers can follow along. Clients can also upload signed copies of executed documents for safekeeping, invite family members with role-based access, and request paid reviews of external documents.
How does family access work? Can my client's ex see their will?
You don't control it — the client does. Inside their vault, they invite a spouse, executor, or heir by email and pick a role. Defaults are sensible (spouse and executor see everything; heir sees only memorial-style docs; "trusted contact" sees nothing until the client opts them in). They can revoke access any time. We enforce the allowlist server-side on every read.
How does coordinated spouse planning work?
When you're drafting mirror trusts, link the spouses inside one client's file or send a coordinated intake invitation. The spouse's intake form arrives pre-filled with shared household data (address, kids, real estate) and only asks them to confirm or change personal items (their own agents, executors, end-of-life wishes). One workflow, two coordinated plans.
How do paid legal reviews work? Is this allowed under bar rules?
It's optional and disabled by default. When enabled, your portal clients can pay $150 to have you review a document they upload. Stripe Connect routes $105 directly to your bank and keeps $45 as the platform fee — structured as a flat marketplace fee independent of outcome, consistent with bar opinions on similar marketplace structures. You complete the review on your dashboard. You can turn it off any time.
Is the AI ever drafting documents I haven't reviewed?
No. AI generates the first draft from the intake; you review it, can override any field, regenerate with overrides, and edit the final Word file before delivery. The AI also writes the plain-English summaries shown to clients, but the underlying legal document is always the version you produced.
