You didn’t spend years mastering tax law, trust formation, and asset protection just to watch your calendar sit as empty as an unfunded trust.
Yet week after week, estate planning attorneys face the same frustrating challenges:
-
People think estate planning is just “filling out some forms online.”
-
DIY will kits and discount legal services undercut your expertise.
-
Referrals from financial advisors and accountants fluctuate unpredictably
-
Your website looks like it hasn’t been updated since the last tax code overhaul.
-
Marketing agencies treat your practice like a generic law office instead of a high-trust advisory service for life’s most sensitive financial decisions.
At Foster Consulting®, we tell the story that positions you as the trusted legal architect of lasting legacies — not just the person who drafts wills.
Why Most Estate Planning Marketing Fails to Build Generational Trust
The problem isn’t that people don’t need estate planning — every family, business owner, and retiree does. The problem is that most marketing treats estate planning like a commodity service, reducing your life’s work to “forms and filings.”
Generic agencies recycle the same clichés about “peace of mind” and “planning for the future,” plaster stock photos of happy families, and call it a day. Then they wonder why your firm isn’t getting consistent, qualified leads.
At Foster Consulting®, we know estate planning clients don’t buy documents — they buy confidence. We build systems that communicate expertise, compassion, and trust in the moments when people are making life’s most consequential decisions.
