Document Checklist & Collection

Legal matters stall when clients send half the file, attach the wrong document, or forget deadlines for supporting records. This automation creates a case-specific checklist, tracks each requested item, and nudges clients until the file is complete enough to move forward.

2-3 hrs/week saved Easy complexity

How It Works

01

Build the checklist

Based on the practice area and matter subtype, the workflow generates the exact set of requested records, forms, and supporting evidence.

02

Open a secure upload path

Clients receive a secure link or portal access tied to each requested item so uploads land in the right folder.

03

Track completed and missing items

As documents arrive, the system marks items complete and highlights what is still outstanding or unreadable.

04

Send timed reminders

If critical documents remain missing, automated reminders go out with simple instructions and the upload link again.

In Practice

An estate administration matter opens with a checklist for the death certificate, will, deeds, account statements, and beneficiary documents. The system reminds the executor every three days until the missing bank statements are uploaded, letting the paralegal start the petition without another phone chase.
