Why Arken?

Templates are too inflexible to cover the wide range of clients needs or become complicated to manage over time. Either way, they present a significant potential to create inaccurate documents and introduce unnecessary risk to your business.

With intelligent questionnaires, the most complete Will clauses, legal best practice and document real-time automation, Arken intuitively guides users to produce quality estate planning documents and generates all of the required documents in real-time.

1. Intelligent Questionnaire

The heart of Arken is the online intelligent interview questionnaire that guides you through the process and ensures nothing is missed. Arken automatically drafts documents in real-time as you work – saving you valuable time and producing the correct provisions for your client's unique circumstances.

Only exposes relevant questions

With Arken you’re not just entering information into a form. The questionnaire only exposes questions relevant to your client’s circumstances and wishes.
Automatically adjusts questions

Our technology helps ensure the interviewer asks the right questions. The questionnaire automatically adjusts to reflect your client’s circumstances and wishes.
Ensure all questions are asked

Alerts protect against incomplete questions. These alerts make sure relevant options are presented and information is collected.

2. Automatic Drafting System

Real-time automated drafting

Dual screen functionality allows you to see the document being drafted automatically as you take instructions.
Automatic commentary

An automatic commentary is created at the same time. This is a separate document that provides an easy-to-understand explanation of clauses, guardians’ and executors’ responsibilities, and other key information.
Controlled editing

The controlled editing function lets you modify a document or commentary if needed.

3. Comprehensive Document Pack

Full document packs are produced automatically. These packs include an easy-to-understand document commentary, signing instructions and other relevant documents. All packs can be downloaded as Engrossment, Copy and Draft packs.
