Automated WESA Precedents
Toronto, Ont., May 2, 2012 - Emergent, Canada’s leading provider of “cradle-to-grave” software solutions for Estates practitioners, confirmed today that dozens of BC law firms plan to use Emergent's software to automate their WESA ready Wills, Powers of Attorney, Representation Agreements and reporting letter precedents.
“Since 1993, Emergent’s software has been used by over 86% of Canada’s leading Estates practitioners to draft estate planning documents, administer estates and prepare Statements of Account in court-approved format should passing accounts become necessary”, says Darren Cooper, President & CEO of Emergent. “Instead of following other vendors who charge an exorbitant license fee for will drafting software in addition to fees for adding a law firms precedents, Emergent offers will drafting software which uses each lawyers' own content and licenses the system for a nominal one-time license fee per file which is most often passed along as a disbursement. This nominal fee allows firms to automate virtually every estate planning document at no direct cost to the law firm."
Emergent’s Estate Planning software allows complex and standard wills to be created quickly and boasts many features for timely reminders, includes an electronic index of documents stored in a firms vault and allows users to create mirror wills with a single click.
“Like most law firms in BC, we had been working diligently to update our precedents in preparation for WESA since it was announced,” says a lawyer at a prominent law firm in one of BC’s largest cities. “Emergent’s software will help us easily transition staff to the updated precedents, provide clients with secure read-only access to their documents any time of day, and turn our Wills & Estates practice into a profit center. Emergent’s license fee was more than reasonable and we’re delighted to finally be paying for technology based on usage.”
When asked how much a “nominal” license fee was, Cooper replied “it all depends on volume, terms and the number of precedents being automated. The license fee could be $40 per File if volumes are limited to only 2 files per month or could be as low as $10 per File for high volume firms. The license fee, whatever it is, is only charged once. The client can keep coming back for additional documents and revisions year after year without any additional licensing fees. It’s the most cost-effective way of automating an entire practice area and reaping the rewards automation can provide”.
