Frequently Asked Questions

QWhat does probate automation mean with Clio?

Not automating court filings—automating death detection: watches on client names, alerts on obituary matches, confirmation workflow, and export of audit logs back to Clio matters.

QHow does this differ from manual search?

Manual search is episodic; monitoring runs continuously across fragmented funeral home and newspaper sources. See Clio vs manual obituary search for a direct comparison.

QDo I still need death certificates?

Often yes for formal probate steps. Monitoring gets you to action faster; certificates satisfy many filing requirements.
