Exizent: How legal tech is enhancing the probate process

65080
Legal tech is having a strong impact on the probate process, with various innovations making this an exciting time. Writing in NLJ, John Catnach, Chief Technology Officer at Exizent, discussed the latest technology within the sector and what future trends lawyers can expect

New technology has been developed for a range of tasks, from basics such as streamlining the onerous task of duplication of data to tackling the increasingly difficult job of identifying a deceased person’s belongings where records are held digitally.

Catnach writes that technology for estate recovery can ‘discover a deceased’s key banking assets and financial liabilities in seconds—a process that can take solicitors many weeks to complete’.
