Lighthouse is designed to cost your firm nothing.See how client fees can cover it.

Estate planning software that costs your firm nothing.

Turn past estate clients into new revenue.

Lighthouse begins with intake and stays with the client long after the original plan is signed. It helps your firm onboard clients more efficiently, reduce follow-up work, and stay connected over time, so life changes turn into future reviews, updates, and new matters. That means Lighthouse helps capture revenue many estate firms are otherwise leaving behind.

30 minutes. Your numbers. No generic demo.

The Lighthouse system supercharges your estate firm.

Built by estate lawyers for estate lawyers.

Lighthouse was built around a simple reality: estate firms lose time to intake chaos, lose revenue when past clients go untouched, and often pay for software that never clearly pays them back. We built Lighthouse to fix those problems with a workflow that is practical, revenue-focused, and designed for the way estate firms actually operate.

How it works

One platform for intake, planning, updates, and administration.

Lighthouse supports the full client lifecycle, from the first intake form to future plan updates and estate administration. The goal is not to add another tool. The goal is to reduce follow-up work, keep matters moving, and turn old client relationships into new revenue.

Clients complete a guided intake on their own time, before the first meeting. Answers land in your dashboard immediately, so your team starts with usable information instead of chasing paperwork.

Less chasing. Faster starts.

Client portal

Stop chasing clients for information.

Give clients one place to complete intake, upload documents, respond to requests, and keep the matter moving.

  • Guided intake form

    Structured questions before the first meeting, with answers routed to your team.

  • Direct document upload

    Clients submit files into the portal instead of threading attachments across email.

  • Automatic reminders when something is missing

    Nudges go to the client so your staff spends less time on follow-up.

Value for your client

Give clients a lasting connection to your firm.

Most estate clients leave with signed documents, then hear little from their attorney unless something goes wrong. Lighthouse gives them a better long-term experience: one place for important documents, a cleaner intake process, easier communication, time capsule messages for loved ones, and a simple path back to the firm when life changes and their plan needs attention.

What clients get:

The math is simple

One timely message can reopen a paying matter.

Lighthouse helps your firm identify past clients who may be due for a review, sends outreach in your firm’s voice, and makes it easier for a response to turn into an active matter.

  • 01
    Find the past clients you are not contacting consistently

    Surface relationships that may be ready for a review based on plan age, life changes, or your firm’s own criteria.

  • 02
    Send timely outreach based on plan age, life changes, or review timing

    Messages can follow your templates and the client’s history—targeted, not a generic blast.

  • 03
    Let interested clients flow directly into intake

    When someone engages, the path to a new matter is clearer for both sides.

  • 04
    Reopen revenue from people your firm already worked hard to acquire

    Past clients are often the highest-leverage segment—if the firm has a system to stay in touch.

Value for your firm

Less admin. More capacity. More revenue.

Every part of Lighthouse is built around one question: does this save time, reopen revenue, or improve the client experience enough to justify itself?

Guided intake
Less staff time chasing information

Clients complete intake step by step on their own time, so your staff spends less time chasing missing information.

Document collection
Fewer scattered attachments

Clients upload what you need directly into the portal instead of sending scattered attachments across email threads.

Matter organization
One place for the work

Tasks, deadlines, documents, and communications live in one place so fewer details slip through the cracks.

Re-engagement
Consistent follow-up with past clients

Lighthouse helps your firm identify which past clients may be due for a review and makes outreach easier to execute consistently.

Ongoing client relationship
Portal clients can actually use

Instead of disappearing after signing, the firm stays connected through a portal clients can actually use.

Template-driven workflow
Mapped to how you already work

Lighthouse is built to support the way your firm already works, rather than forcing your team into a generic workflow.

Our estate practice

Lighthouse was built inside our own small family estate firm.

We originally built Lighthouse for internal use in our own family estate practice. We needed a better way to handle intake, collect documents, reduce follow-up, and stay connected to clients after their plans were signed.

So instead of waiting for generic software to solve those problems, we built the system we wanted for ourselves. Lighthouse reflects the workflow, pressures, and client expectations we already knew firsthand from running a small estate firm.

  • Built for internal use before external rollout
  • Based on real estate-planning workflow needs
  • Created to reduce intake friction and admin burden
  • Designed to strengthen long-term client relationships

Client access fees

Lighthouse can help pay its own way.

We walk through the numbers using your own fee structure, workflow, and client base so you can see whether Lighthouse simply offsets its cost — or actually creates additional net revenue for your firm.

In some cases, firms may not just cover the platform through client access fees. They may come out ahead.

Illustrative example — client access fees only

Some firms may be able to do more than break even on Lighthouse. Depending on matter volume and how client access fees are structured, the platform can potentially cover its own cost and produce additional net revenue.

Estate Admin. Estate Plans
Example volume 20 / year 20 / year
Illustrative net to firm (example) +$1,000 +$500
Combined (illustrative) +$1,500

These examples are for discussion only. They show how client access fees can, in some firms, do more than offset platform cost. They are not promises and should be adjusted to your firm’s pricing, volume, and fee structure.

Illustrative pass-through fees (example)
Estate plans per year 40
Estate administrations per year 15
Estate plans × $25 $1,000
Administrations × $50 $750
Illustrative annual pass-through (example)
$1,750
The point is not to suggest that every firm will profit from Lighthouse in the same way. The point is to show that, when modeled against your own pricing and client volume, Lighthouse may not only pay for itself — it may even generate positive net revenue for the firm.
ROI calculator

See what your client list could be worth.

Use your own numbers to estimate what Lighthouse could unlock through re-engagement, referrals, and workflow savings.

This is a planning tool, not a promise. Its purpose is to help your firm pressure-test the opportunity using your own client base, fee structure, and assumptions.

How many past clients do you have phone numbers and emails for? 500
502,5005,000
Your fee for a plan update $800
$300$1,650$3,000
Average value of a referred new client $2,500
$500$5,000$10,000

Illustrative rates are built into this model for planning only—re-engagements that convert to plan updates use 4% of your reachable list per year. They are not benchmarks and do not represent results from other firms.
