What practitioners struggle with
Real frustrations from legal professionals — the problems Capacity Vault addresses (or should address). Sourced from practitioner reviews, Reddit threads, and case studies.
Estate planning attorney needs a client's 85-year-old mother to sign a power of attorney and updated will, but she's in a nursing home 200 miles away and can't travel — without remote notarization, someone has to physically go to her or the documents don't get executed
Estate planning solicitor is preparing a full pack for a client with a complex family setup — will, LPAs, trust wording, letters, and related documents all need the same names, relationships, and asset details, but the firm is re-keying that data across multiple precedents and one inconsistency can leave the signed plan contradictory or expose the firm to a negligence claim
