Create and update probate matters from intake forms

Automatically capture probate intake questionnaire submissions across Cognito Forms, LeadConnector, Agents, AI by Zapier, and Lawcus and Sub-Zap by Zapier. Create and update records when intake submission lands, attachments arrive, or key answers include missing pre-filing itemsβ€”so you can populate contacts, link matters, and generate follow-up tasks without manual intake processing.

How this automation creates organized probate matters
