New Client Onboarding for Estate Planners with WealthCounsel
Run new client onboarding on autopilot inside WealthCounsel.
The Problem
Onboarding a new Estate Planning Advisory client means IPS drafting, account opening at the custodian, ACAT transfers, and 11 documents — and delays cost the AUM to hesitation.
What We Build in WealthCounsel
AI drafts the IPS from the risk questionnaire, pre-fills custodian forms in WealthCounsel, orchestrates ACATs, and chases missing signatures — days-to-funded drops from 21 to 7. Purpose-built for teams running WealthCounsel — uses the native API or agent integration so nothing leaves the system of record.
WealthCounsel Integration Approach
Audit your WealthCounsel configuration
We map the specific WealthCounsel objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation needs to touch for your estate planning advisory practice.
Build on the WealthCounsel API or agent
Integration happens inside WealthCounsel — no data leaves the system, no parallel tool for your team to learn, no license changes.
Human-in-the-loop handoff
Every automation routes exceptions back to a human in WealthCounsel with enough context to act — AI handles the 80%, your team owns the judgment calls.
Frequently asked
Does this new client onboarding automation work natively in WealthCounsel?+
Yes — we build directly on WealthCounsel's API or agent integration. Your data stays in WealthCounsel, your estate planners keep the same login and UI, and there's no parallel system for the team to learn.
What WealthCounsel configuration do we need before deployment?+
We work with your existing WealthCounsel setup. During discovery we map the specific objects, custom fields, and workflows the automation touches — no rip-and-replace required for estate planning advisory teams.
Can WealthCounsel handle new client onboarding on its own?+
WealthCounsel handles configuration; AI handles judgment. Native WealthCounsel workflows route deterministic tasks; our automation layer adds the AI judgment WealthCounsel doesn't ship out of the box — document classification, exception triage, drafting.

WealthCounsel is widely used among estate planning advisory teams precisely because of its data model around new client onboarding. We've deployed this workflow on WealthCounsel for similar firms and the integration is well-trodden.
What's the typical ROI of new client onboarding automation in WealthCounsel?+
For estate planning advisory firms running WealthCounsel, automation typically pays back inside the first quarter — measured against the loaded cost of the estate planner hours absorbed. Higher volumes deploy faster.
