The problem

An estate plan signing needs the client, the attorney, two witnesses and a notary in the same room at the same time, so booking one takes a string of calls and emails. If a firm holds 12 signings a month and each takes 30 minutes of back-and-forth to arrange, that's 6 hours a month, and a client who forgets the appointment wastes an hour of three people's time.

What the AI does

Calendly's Standard plan includes collective event types, where a booking page shows only the times when every host is free, plus automations and reminders. The firm sets up a signing event with the attorney, the paralegal who is a notary and a second staff witness as hosts, connected to their calendars. When the attorney approves the final documents, the client gets the booking link and picks a time that works for all three. The confirmation and reminders say what to bring, such as a government photo ID, and that beneficiaries can't serve as witnesses. The attorney still runs the signing and confirms capacity and wishes in person; Calendly only finds the time.

A worked example

An illustrative example built from typical figures, not a named business.

A two-attorney estate planning firm in Columbus, Ohio, where a will needs two witnesses, holds about 12 signings a month. It gives Calendly Standard seats to one attorney, the notary paralegal and a legal assistant, and sends the booking link when the final drafts are approved.

Before

30 minutes of calls and emails to arrange each of 12 signings: 6 hours a month

After

About 5 minutes to send the link and check each booking: 1 hour a month

What it's worth

About $150£113€134A$217C$212 a month of staff time, against a $30£23€27A$43C$42 cost. Saving 25 minutes on each of 12 signings is 5 hours, at an assumed $30£23€27A$43C$42 an hour. Standard is $10£8€9A$14C$14 per seat a month billed yearly or $12£9€11A$17C$17 monthly, so $30£23€27A$43C$42 to $36£27€32A$52C$51 for three hosts. Fewer missed signings are not counted.

How to set it up

  1. Give each person who has to be at a signing a Standard seat and connect their work calendar.
  2. Create a collective signing event with enough time for the attorney to review the documents with the client, plus buffer time in the calendar.
  3. Write the confirmation and reminder text: what to bring, who may come, and that beneficiaries and their spouses shouldn't act as witnesses.
  4. Send the link only after the attorney has approved the final documents, so no one books a signing before the drafts are ready.
  5. Keep a phone option for clients who can't book online, and have the attorney confirm any home or hospital signing personally.

What goes wrong

  • Witness and notary rules vary by state, and some states allow remote online notarization while others limit it for wills. The attorney sets the signing format, not the booking page.
  • If one host's calendar isn't kept up to date, the page offers a time when the notary is out. Everyone must block leave and court time in their calendar.
  • The free plan has one event type and no reminders, and collective events aren't on it. Each host needs a paid seat.
  • Keep the booking form short. Don't ask for asset or family details there; those belong in the firm's own secure systems.
