AI Estate Planning: What You Need to Know
Can You Trust AI Estate Planning?
Artificial intelligence can do a lot these days. It can write emails, summarize legal statutes, and even write articles like this one (edited by a real attorney). But before you ask ChatGPT to write your will or trust, it’s important to understand the difference between information and experience — and why that difference matters for your estate plan. AI estate planning has access to information, but it will never have the experience necessary to draft a good plan.
What AI Gets Right
AI tools like ChatGPT are trained on huge amounts of text, including public laws and legal definitions. That means AI can:
- Explain what a will or trust is
- Summarize Texas estate planning laws
- Generate a will or trust that meets only the bare minimum legal requirements, but omits important provisions that would be considered malpractice if an attorney left them out.
If you’re looking for general information or a starting point, AI can be helpful.
Where AI Falls Short
But here’s the problem — AI has never sat down with a grieving family. It has never navigated probate court in Texas. It has never seen what happens when a generic will doesn’t hold up.
AI can pull from what’s written about estate planning. But it can’t draw from real-world experience, and that creates serious blind spots. It may:
- not include Texas-specific language
- get signing requirements wrong
- miss issues you didn’t know to ask about
- It can’t troubleshoot your family dynamics or real property questions
Even if an AI-generated will looks good on paper, it may fail when your family needs it most.
