AI can create an estate plan, but it won’t be as thorough or legally sound as one developed by a licensed attorney. Estate planning is highly individual. While AI can be a helpful tool in some circumstances, it does not replace real, personalized legal guidance.
If your goal is to create an estate plan that completely meets your needs, consult with an elder law attorney. Our estate planning lawyers in Marietta have assisted more than hundreds of families with their estate planning and elder law needs.

You Can’t Trust AI Answers
One challenge with current AI technology is that it sometimes gets it wrong. It doesn’t learn like humans do; it relies on patterns to understand the world and the people it interacts with. As sophisticated as it is, it can struggle to understand context, and it may confuse similar facts.
Most AI tools even have disclaimers that tell you they can provide incorrect information at times. That doesn’t mean AI isn’t a valuable tool. It does mean you should verify every important piece of information you glean from it. In other words, you can’t completely trust it.
In the context of elder law, this is especially significant and a big reason to involve an attorney in your estate planning. Lawyers aren’t infallible, but it’s a safe bet that they have a far better understanding of Georgia laws and how it relates to you than any AI tool could.

AI Can’t Give You Legal AdviceOnly a licensed attorney can give you legal advice. AI tools seem like they know what they are talking about, but they can’t legally instruct you on how to form your estate plan. Any information you get from AI is not legal advice, nor is it necessarily legally sound.
AI tools are not bound by the same professional and ethical standards as a real attorney. Additionally, AI isn’t capable of the same level of compassion and understanding that typically guide an elder law attorney’s actions during the estate planning process.
Think of your interactions with AI as like a conversation with a smart but not entirely reliable friend. They may be able to help you work through your thoughts and offer some ideas, but you’d never act on the information they give you without speaking to a lawyer.

Education and Guidance
AI can help you understand general estate planning concepts—like wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives—and explain legal terms in plain language.
However, it cannot evaluate your unique circumstances, anticipate the consequences of your choices, or guide you through complex family and financial decisions with the accuracy and judgment that an experienced attorney provides.
For example, AI likely wouldn’t inform you about our Absolute Protection Trust™, which provides significant benefits over traditional trusts.
Georgia’s estate laws are complex, and the risk of errors with an AI tool is high. Seek advice from a licensed attorney who can help you write a will, create powers of attorney, and make sure your plan is tailored to the needs of you and your family, and to Georgia law.
Exploring Scenarios
AI tools like ChatGPT are very good at ideating, so much so that it can seem like you are brainstorming with a real person. You can use it to ask questions and work through various scenarios that could occur with your finances, health, and family.
This is another useful exercise, but acting on the information you get isn’t a great idea. Instead, use it to get your thought process going, so when you meet with our attorneys for your Free Legacy Planning Meeting, you can let us know the ways our estate planning lawyers can help.
Consult With Our Very Human Attorneys
You can use AI in your estate planning process, but it isn’t wise to depend on it. Effective estate planning requires a true understanding of your needs and the personal touch only a human attorney can provide.
You might use AI tools to learn more about estate planning, consider different scenarios, or generate questions about the process. Then, talk to our team. We can advise you on some things you might not have considered and begin forming a plan.
Or, skip the AI trend completely and come straight to us. Nelson Elder Care Law has been helping Georgia families with their estate planning needs for more than a decade. Call today to schedule your Free Legacy Planning Meeting to discuss your options.
