It Drives Consistency
Estate planning software helps drafters produce consistent Wills that use uniform clauses, clear and company approved commentary, the right branding, and an agreed process. This helps your team carry out more efficient peer reviews too. You also get peace of mind in knowing that all clauses and precedents are monitored by a Legal Advisory Board.
“Following a well-planned and successful implementation, we are delighted to see how the Arken software has enabled us to streamline our approach to Will drafting. We are now producing consistent Wills which use uniform clauses across all of our lawyers. The commentary document which complements the drafted Will is extremely helpful to our customers.”

It Helps With Onboarding Staff
Estate planning software provides a clear process to follow, the consistent wording, branding and the supportive training available makes it easier, and faster, to onboard new members of staff.
“Arken is really easy to use and there is a wealth of training and material to help new users. Our Trainee solicitors find the software easy to use and drafting Wills has become a much smoother and more streamlined process. The commentary explaining the Wills really helps our client’s to understand the documents presented to them. In addition, the ability to tailor the clauses and commentaries for the circumstances we often come across makes drafting Wills quicker and more accurate. We have seen the biggest difference in drafting Lasting Powers of Attorney, particularly when drafting multiple documents for clients and/or married couples.”
