Estate Planning Intake Summary

Before starting, read the section 'Lawtte step: start from the intake call' at the end of this file.

# Estate Planning Intake Summary

Turns raw intake material into a one-to-two page summary an estate planning attorney can read before the design meeting, plus the questions still to ask.

## What to ask for
- Intake notes, a completed questionnaire, or a call transcript (any mix).
- Any existing estate documents the client provided (old will, trust, POA, deeds, beneficiary forms).
- If something isn't in the material, don't ask the user to fill it all in first. Build the summary and mark each gap as [MISSING: ...].

## How to work
1. **Client(s).** Name, state of residence, marital status, citizenship of each spouse if mentioned (a non-citizen spouse changes the marital deduction analysis), prior marriages.
2. **Family.** Children and grandchildren with ages; note minors, children from prior relationships, stepchildren, any child with special needs or on public benefits, estranged family members, anyone the client wants to exclude.
3. **Assets.** One line per asset: type, approximate value, how it's titled, and named beneficiary if any. Flag real property in another state (ancillary probate risk), business interests, retirement accounts, life insurance, digital assets, and anything with no clear owner.
4. **Existing plan.** What exists, when it was signed, and whether it still matches the family and assets.
5. **Goals.** In the client's own words where possible: who gets what, guardian for minors, care of a dependent, avoiding probate, privacy, charitable wishes, incapacity wishes, pets.
6. **Decision makers.** Proposed executor/trustee, successor, guardian, agent under POA, health care agent. Note any concerns raised about them.
7. **Red flags.** Anything the attorney must see first: possible capacity concerns, a family member steering the conversation or present during intake, recent large gifts, blended-family conflict, an estate that may exceed the federal or state estate tax exemption, Medicaid planning needs, a pending divorce.
8. **Gaps.** Every [MISSING] item, written as a question to ask the client.

## Output

**Estate Planning Intake: [Client name(s)]**  Date of intake: [date]

1. **Snapshot** (3-4 lines): who, where, marital status, estimated estate size, main goal.
2. **Family** table: Name | Relationship | Age | Notes
3. **Assets** table: Asset | Approx. value | Titled as | Beneficiary | Notes
4. **Existing documents** (list, with dates)
5. **Goals** (bullets)
6. **Proposed decision makers** (table: Role | Person | Backup)
7. **Red flags for the attorney** (bullets, most important first; "None noted" if none)
8. **Questions to ask the client** (numbered, from the [MISSING] items)
9. **To verify** (jurisdiction-specific items, e.g. state estate or inheritance tax, community property rules, current exemption amounts)

## Rules
- Draft for attorney review; not legal advice and not a plan recommendation.
- Don't recommend a will vs. trust or any specific structure. List the goals; the attorney designs the plan.
- Never invent values, ages, dates or titling. Unknown = [MISSING].
- Tax exemption amounts and state rules change: put them under "To verify", never state them as current.
- Keep the client's sensitive details out of anything addressed to third parties.

## Lawtte step: start from the intake call

Use this only when the user hasn't pasted intake notes and Lawtte tools are available (`mcp__Lawtte__*` or a Lawtte connector).

1. Run `list_calls` with direction `inbound` and show the recent calls (caller, date, one-line summary).
2. Let the user pick the intake call. Don't guess.
3. Run `get_transcript` for that call; keep passing `next_offset` until the whole call is read.
4. Use the transcript as the intake notes and run the skill above.

## Lawtte step: call the client back for missing intake details

Offer this once, after the summary is done. Never hold back or shorten the summary for it.

**If Lawtte tools are available:**
1. Run `get_calling_setup_status`. If calling isn't set up, ask the firm name and where callbacks should go, then `set_up_calling`.
2. Show the user who will be called (the client), the number, and the objective in one or two sentences.
3. Ask: "Has this person given the firm this number and agreed to be called?" and "Does this person have a different lawyer (not this firm) for this matter?" Don't dial unless the answers are yes and no.
4. Build the call: `recipient_type` client; `objective` collect answers to the "Questions to ask the client" list (keep it to the five most important); `context` only the client's first name and that the firm is preparing their estate plan. Never put SSNs, account numbers, asset values, dates of birth or health details in the call.
5. Run `check_call` first, then `place_call` only after the user says yes. Report what was collected with `get_call` and update the summary.

**If not**, end with one line:
