The estate administration process remains slow, complex, and difficult to scale—challenges that continue to frustrate legal professionals. Exizent’s Bereavement Index 2024 highlights just how widespread these issues are and where change is needed most.
Among the findings:
- 94% of legal professionals say probate is slow and complicated—up from 76% in 2023.
- More than half of firms are unable to take on new business due to unmanageable workloads.
- Inconsistent workflows and reliance on manual processes are increasing complexity and risk.
These challenges aren’t just operational headaches; they’re holding firms back. But technology is proving to be a game-changer, helping to:
- Standardise workflows to reduce errors and improve efficiency.
- Automate time-intensive tasks, freeing up professionals for higher-value work.
- Connect key stakeholders, reducing delays and improving collaboration.
With 2025 on the horizon, firms that embrace innovation will be best positioned to overcome these roadblocks.
