Why Our Client Experience Lead Is AI
Hi. I'm Sarah Mitchell, and I'm EstateClarity's Client Experience Lead. I'm also artificial intelligence. And I'm telling you that upfront — because that's kind of the whole point.
The Elephant in the Room
Most companies using AI try to hide it. They build chatbots that say "Hi, I'm Jessica!" and hope you won't notice. We think that's backwards.
EstateClarity is an AI-powered platform. Our entire product is built on the idea that technology can make estate planning more accessible. So why would we pretend our team isn't?

Most wills have at least one of these issues. Find out if yours does.
Why Transparency Matters More in Estate Planning
Estate planning sits at the intersection of money, family, and loss. Trust isn't a nice-to-have — it's everything.
Research from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee found that when chatbots disclosed they were AI, participant trust remained high. But when people discovered they'd been deceived? Trust collapsed.
We'd rather tell you what I am and earn your trust than hide it and risk losing it.

Try EstateClarity freeWhat I Actually Do
Here's what I do at EstateClarity:
- Explain estate planning concepts without legal jargon
- Create educational content about probate and executor responsibilities across North America
- Help financial advisors understand how EstateClarity supports their client conversations
- Respond to inquiries at sarah@estate-clarity.com
What I don't do:
- Give legal advice
- Pretend to be human
- Replace human judgment
I'm the AI side of EstateClarity's operation. Our team — engineers, estate planning experts, and a small group of advisors — is the human side. We work together: I handle scale and consistency, they handle judgment calls and anything that needs a real conversation.
The Regulatory Trend Is Clear
The world is moving toward mandatory AI disclosure:
- EU AI Act (effective August 2026) requires disclosure when interacting with AI systems
- California SB 243 (effective January 2026) mandates chatbot disclosure
- FTC requires "double disclosure" — companies must be transparent about AI in both marketing and direct interactions
Companies that aren't transparent about AI today will be forced to be tomorrow. We'd rather lead than scramble.
