Lyfeguard helps law firms keep client information alive, surface life events, prompt will and LPA reviews, maintain family relationships, and prepare estate information before probate begins.

The problem
Private client work is built on trust, but client information often becomes static after the matter closes. A will is drafted. A power of attorney is completed. Details are filed. Then years pass. In that time, families change, assets change, property changes, health changes, wishes change, and beneficiaries grow into future clients. The firm may still hold the original relationship, but not the current picture.
Why it matters
Law firms say missed cross-selling opportunities leave an average of 12.5% of annual revenue on the table. For private client teams, that value often sits inside existing matters, dormant clients and family relationships that no one is actively developing.
Lyfeguard helps clients organise the documents, people, assets, wishes, and details connected to their life and legacy. Clients can update information over time and share selected details with the firm. For legal teams, that creates a more useful view of the client relationship: outdated documents, missing information, family changes, executor details, property changes, attorney relationships, estate planning needs, and moments where proactive support may be appropriate.
From signal to action

Keep information more current, structured, and permissioned, reducing reliance on old files and incomplete records.
Bereavement is already one of the hardest moments in a family’s life. Fragmented documents, missing records, unknown accounts, unclear wishes, and unreachable executors make it harder still.
Lyfeguard helps clients prepare key information before it is needed, so families and legal teams are not starting from a blank page.
Lyfeguard helps private client teams spot when a client’s circumstances may need attention, using information the client has chosen to provide, update, and share. That means conversations can be prompted by meaningful changes, such as family circumstances, property, executors, beneficiaries, LPAs, estate documents, or outdated records, rather than relying only on old matter files or broad reminders.
Traditional legal matters often create a snapshot of the client at one point in time. Lyfeguard helps turn that snapshot into a living, permissioned record that can support future reviews, family needs, estate administration, and private client relationships over time.
Will review triggers: Surface changes in family circumstances, property, assets, wishes, executors, beneficiaries, or key contacts that may indicate a will should be reviewed.

Probate preparation: Make estate information easier to locate, including documents, accounts, policies, providers, wishes, executors, beneficiaries, and key contacts
Dormant will bank reactivation: Many firms hold valuable will banks that have become static over time. Lyfeguard gives clients a useful reason to update details, organise family information, and reconnect with the firm
Beneficiary and family relationships: Map the people connected to a client’s life and legacy, including spouses, partners, children, beneficiaries, executors, attorneys, carers, and trusted contacts
Private client data quality: Reduce reliance on old files, incomplete matter histories, and client information that has not been reviewed for years.
