If you haven't already reviewed our KB article on which documents to upload, we highly recommend taking a look before continuing.
On the Households page, click on the household you want to upload their Trust & Will to and scroll down to the Estate - Will & Trust section and click UploadReview the Instructions before selecting the documents.
It’s important to note that each document needs to be separate, but you’ll want to include all documents in one upload. So, if you have two wills and a joint trust, there should be three separate documents in the upload section. Any other supporting documents should be added at this time as well.
Naming conventions used for your documents do not determine how the documents are actually treated. Our own internal logic is going to determine that the files are wills and trusts, and whether codicils amend the will and in what way, and which client signed the document.
Names used for your documents do not determine how the documents are actually treated, but the names do show up on the report itself to list the documents that were reviewed. Because of this, you may want to update the file name before uploading. You can add and remove files as needed prior to being reviewed.
Be sure to select the clients that are included in this review. If you select both clients, their documents will be created in one consolidated report. You’re welcome to create another report for each client separately!
Click Upload, and you’ll see the message below once complete:
The Upload modal will tell you the service levels and when you can expect your documents to be reviewed. Uploaders will be notified after initial review if a wrong or incomplete document is uploaded. Users can edit submissions before said review begins. Turnaround times are based upon the most recent submission.
