Probate ‘from start to finish’ software gets top listing in LawTech Guide

A tech firm whose software helps legal professionals manage the probate and estate administration process has been listed by Chambers in its 2023 LawTech Guide with a ‘Band One’ status

The first-time listing, at the highest banding offered, follows a rigorous assessment process conducted by Chambers including interviews with current Exizent platform users.

Exizent’s software conducts a range of tasks to speed up and manage bereavement, including the capture of key data, the production of court and inheritance tax forms, and creation of estate accounts. This frees up legal professionals’ time to focus on client care, research and advice when someone close to them has died.

Simon Christian, research director at Chambers, said: ‘As a UK-wide legaltech business, providing a modern technology solution which enables legal professionals to work better, Exizent is exactly the kind of organisation that deserves a ranking in the LawTech Guide 2023.

‘It is great that our research provided the evidence to have them ranked as one of the top legaltech suppliers.’

Laura McFarlane, product owner and head of customer success at Exizent, said: ‘We work hard to actively seek feedback from our users and incorporate that into our product development process.

‘The fact that our current users endorsed our software and acknowledge its positive impact on their work processes is a testament to the dedicated efforts of our team here at Exizent. We strive to deliver an exceptional product that meets the needs of our users, and this recognition is solely attributed to those who are willing to embrace innovation in order to offer an enhanced service to their clients.’

Aleks Tomczyk, co-founder and managing director of Exizent, said the firm aimed to become an integral part of the bereavement landscape and had further ambitions in the legal sector including connecting legal services firms to the FinTech side of Exizent’s platform.

Exizent is a Glasgow-based firm with clients across the UK. One of its key functions is connecting the data and services used by legal services firms, banks and financial institutions, and executors to help make the process of sorting out the estate easier for the bereaved.

Legal professionals dealing with bereaved clients can benefit from Exizent’s software simplifying their probate and confirmation work. The software is a cloud-based platform that allows users to manage their probate process from start to finish in one place.

It’s a business that aims to reduce the burden on those grieving, and was inspired by personal stories of people who have lost loved ones and then found themselves caught in a web of complexity at a time of personal anguish. View the Chambers Lawtech Guide listing here.
