Finance Legal & Estate Expenses

Scrivnr is a lending service removes the stress and obstacles associated with hiring an attorney. You hire them to find you an attorney, pay for all the startup costs, and help you with all the non-legal tasks you need to accomplish. They act like your own private “virtual trust department.” Scrivnr will also work with an attorney of your choosing if they are amenable.

Attorney Procurement

Finding the right attorney and having them call you back in a reasonable time is a full-time job in itself.  That is why they have built a nationwide vetted attorney network that is eager and ready to help you.  Scrivnr hand-pick an attorney in the jurisdiction (state/county) required and schedule an appointment at your convenience.

Payment For Start Up Costs

Hiring an attorney typically requires around $10,000 to pay for the start-up costs of a proceeding: attorney retainer ($5,000), Court fee ($1,200), Public Notice ($1,000), Fiduciary Bond ($500), and other costs. Most people do not have these funds or cannot wait 12-18 months to be reimbursed if they do. Scrivnr will front all the start-up costs for you.

Automated Scheduling

One of the slowest steps in any legal matter is having the attorney gather all the necessary client information and book the first productive meeting.  Often taking more than 3 months to do.  With Scrivnr’s automated information gathering and scheduling system,  we instantly provide the attorneys with the information they need for a productive first meeting.  Their attorney partner must review and approve, saving you months of back and forth with a traditional attorney.

Complete Non-Legal Tasks

Numerous tasks can often be completed (with the right know-how) that can save you thousands of dollars. We can educate you and assist you in completing non-legal tasks.

Maintain Professional Accounting

If needed, they will set you up with a professional accounting service (QuickBooks, Xero, Freshbooks) so you can fulfill your fiduciary duty of maintaining the case’s books and records. We will categorize every expense and produce financial reports.

Reporting

Scrivnr will produce quarterly reports for you that you can share with the case’s interested parties. Providing a consistent and transparent report of all the case activity to family and interested parties reduces conflict and any undue mistrust. Additionally, in the event of any formal inquiries, you can instantly show all the activity and provide copies of communication to interested parties.

Legal Savings

Through their system, you can minimize the non-legal questions and tasks an attorney would charge you $500/hr (or more) to complete and save thousands of dollars. Scrivnr helps you isolate the actual legal needs of the process and provide the most efficient and cost-effective way to deliver the legal service you need.
