These days, it seems like all anyone is talking about is A.I. (artificial intelligence). From cooking recipes to exercise/workout planning to travel planning, A.I. seems to be transforming every industry. In the legal field, it’s no different, with lawyers and clients being inundated with advertisements about the way A.I. can improve the way they work.
The reality is that A.I. has not actually had much impact so far when it comes to legal services. Beyond helping law firms with marketing and virtual assistants, A.I. has proven itself to be totally unreliable in the complicated and nuanced space that is the practice of law. No self-respecting lawyer (especially one who intends to keep their license!) would actually rely on A.I. to write a contract or provide legal advice to a client.
The same goes for wills. Given that everyone needs a will, this industry is likely to be quickly saturated with websites promising to provide an effective and comprehensive will, but really just selling a shoddy GPT-generated document. A.I. generated wills absolutely cannot be relied upon. Current A.I. relies on the aggregation of massive amounts of data (most of which is historical and at least a year or two old). The process of creating a will and the background knowledge required are just too specific, and the stakes are too high.
This is why our Will builder (check it out here) does not rely on A.I. Given that A.I. is all the rage right now, maybe this isn’t the best thing to boast from a marketing perspective, but we’re proud of this fact because our commitment is to our users first. We know that A.I. simply can’t come close to doing what a lawyer can do – at least not yet or any time soon – so we instead set out to painstakingly create an online will creator that is based on the specific knowledge and experience of an actual lawyer, rather than based on a large language model.
Succession Wills was born from the extensive collaboration of a real lawyer and a software engineer to create a superior product. Maybe one day A.I. will catch up, but until then, choose a will creator you can rely on.
