Use an Attorney for Your Estate Planning—Not AI!

By Libby Banks, The Law Office of Libby Banks, PLLC

AI can do many things, but it can’t understand the people you love.
In today’s high-tech world, you can ask your phone to plan a vacation, order your groceries, or even write your wedding vows. It might be tempting to let artificial intelligence take the reins on your estate plan, too. After all, AI is fast, cheap, and always available.
But when it comes to protecting your life’s work and caring for the people you love most, is “fast and cheap” really what you want? Estate planning isn’t just about documents, it’s about people, relationships, and values.
“Your estate plan isn’t just a stack of papers. It’s a reflection of your love, your story, and your legacy.”
Estate planning is about people.
AI can draft documents, but it can’t sit across the table from you, look you in the eye, and ask, “Who do you really trust to make decisions for you?” or “How do you want your loved ones to feel when they read your final words?”
As estate planning attorneys, we don’t just fill out forms, we listen. We learn your story, your family dynamics, and the emotions behind your choices.
Maybe you have a child who struggles with money or addiction.
Maybe there’s tension between siblings.
Maybe you want to make sure your spouse is protected, while also ensuring children from a prior marriage are cared for.
Those are real human issues, delicate, nuanced, and often emotional. And they require real human understanding. A computer program can’t grasp the difference between fairness and favoritism, or compassion and compromise. But a good attorney can.
The human connection makes the difference.
Estate planning is an intimate process. When you work with an experienced attorney, you’re not just getting legal documents, you’re getting guidance, empathy, and perspective.
We’ve sat with families through every stage of life. We’ve seen tears, laughter, regret, and relief. We’ve watched the sense of peace settle in when a client finally knows their family will be cared for. That human connection doesn’t end when your plan is signed, it continues beyond your lifetime.
When you’re gone, your attorney is often the person who stands beside your family, offering comfort and clarity in the midst of grief. AI can’t make that compassionate phone call. It won’t notice your daughter’s trembling hands when she opens your trust binder or take a moment to reassure her that you planned carefully so she wouldn’t have to worry.
But your attorney will.
“AI can fill in the blanks. A good attorney fills in the heart.”
Your legacy is more than a document.
An estate plan built by an attorney reflects your values, priorities, and hopes for your family’s future. It’s not just about where your assets go, it’s about how your legacy continues and the peace you leave behind.
At The Law Office of Libby Banks, our attorneys work closely with you to craft a plan that carries your voice forward. We ensure your wishes are honored and your loved ones have the comfort of knowing you planned with care. We stay by your side through life’s changes, helping you adapt your plan as your family, assets, and goals evolve.
That’s something no software or AI system can do. Because your legacy deserves more than algorithms, it deserves attention, understanding, and a trusted relationship that lasts beyond your lifetime.
“When your children need answers, do you want them to talk to a chatbot, or to someone who truly understands your family?”
Let’s build your plan together.
Your estate plan should reflect your life, your values, and your love. Let’s make sure it does.
