Industry Leading Products
Will Writing
Software
Arken Professional is an intuitive document drafting solution for Wills, LPAs, Expression of Wishes and more. It helps drive consistency, efficiency, and digitisation of your processes, allowing for very complex drafting. Built by solicitors, Arken Professional has been consistently enhanced over the last 30 years, meaning no more word templates, no more precedents to keep updated, no more charities to look up, just seamless drafting in a fraction of the time. Other products available for Will writing are Arken Anywhere, for drafting on-the-go, and Professional Wills Scotland for drafting Scottish documents.
Trust Software
Testamentary Trusts are drafted as part of the Will process through Arken’s Will Writing software, however, you can also use Arken Lifetime for preparing Inter Vivos (IV) Trusts. The tax implications of Trusts can be quite complex and ever-changing, so Trust Referencer provides you with regularly updated tax information for all IV and Testamentary Trusts. With downloadable , personalised reports for clients, Trustees or even for your records, you can ensure all tax implications are recorded at the time of drafting and understood by all parties.
Online WillsSoftware
Arken Online Wills offers your clients the chance to draft their own straightforward instructions online in their own time, 24 hours a day. You can set whether they finish and download that document, or send it to you, as their trusted advisor, to be checked or even printed and bound. You can brand the solution and set your own payment method too. Use seamlessly with the Intestacy Lead Generator, that can help generate leads for your business or link with Arken’s Digital Fact Find for capturing data on those more complex instructions that need your professional guidance.
Digital FactFind
Arken Acquire is a digital fact find. Your client can use it to fill in their data and it will automatically populate Arken’s Will Writing software. With many different use cases, you can capture clients’ data, generate more leads and indeed cross-promote your Will writing services to clients from other internal departments like conveyancing or family law. Arken Acquire can sit on your website or you can send a link to your clients. It works on a tablet or phone, so it can even be used in reception areas for clients to complete immediately prior to the interview.
Intestacy Lead Generator
The Arken Intestacy tool will show your potential clients in just one minute what would happen if they died without a Will. Used as a lead generation tool, it provides clients with an on-screen assessment of what would happen if they were to die ‘intestate’. Motivate the 55% of UK adults that don’t have a Will to put this critical document in place by showing the impact of dying without one. Integrate with Arken Online Wills and Arken Acquire to generate new clients, document creation, and ensure clients’ best interests are protected. *Applicable in England & Wales only.
