With all of your data in one place, Zola Suite delivers a single source of truth for your practice.

Your estate planning firm has procedures for everything from client intake to the initiation of a probate proceeding.

You’ll even receive alerts when a task deadline is missed.
Document Management and Automation
Using Zola Suite’s robust document management system, as an estate planning attorney you can store hundreds (or even thousands) of matter-related files and documents in one place, enhancing organization and collaboration with your team. Your firm can create commonly used documents such as client intake forms, letters and retainer agreements within seconds using Zola Suite’s document automation.
Client Portal
As an estate planning attorney, you routinely share secure confidential client information. With Zola Suite’s client portal, Zola Caseway™, you can securely share files (as well as invoices) with your clients and fellow advisors. Your clients can also upload files for your firm’s review. Invoices can also be shared and paid using Zola Payments, powered by LawPay. Customized web portals and branded mobile apps are available for firms that wish to deliver an immersive branding experience to their clients.
Intake Automation
Say goodbye to hefty paper intake forms that require duplicate data entry. With Zola Suite’s intake automation, as an estate planning attorney you can securely share online intake forms with prospects. The data entered into the electronic form can then be used to create matter-related documents with a few clicks.
Flexible Billing Options
Whether you bill your clients on a flat fee or hourly basis, Zola Suite will track how much time is spent on a case so you can monitor your productivity. Time entries will appear on client invoices but can be marked as “No Charge” so your clients can see the list of courtesies your firm granted. If you’d like to show clients what you’ve been working on, you can configure time entry narratives to be displayed on the invoice while omitting the charge associated with them.
