Which retirement account trust enquiries deserve consultation time
Our intake asks whether the retirement account should pass into a trust, whether an existing estate plan needs updating, and whether controlling distributions matters for a minor or a beneficiary with creditor issues. Prospective clients upload trust documents and account statements before you ever schedule a consultation.
The exact intake your retirement plan trusts leads complete
This is the real 7-question guided intake for Retirement Plan Trusts — the same flow your customers finish before you ever pick up the phone.
What a qualified retirement plan trusts lead should tell you
Legal work to name a trust as beneficiary of a retirement account (401(k), IRA, or similar plan) so the funds pass under trust terms rather than directly to an individual, often to control timing, protect a vulnerable beneficiary, or align with an existing estate plan.

The questions your team needs answered
Every retirement plan trusts intake asks these — and why each one matters.
| Question | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Are you in the United States and looking for help with a retirement account (like a 401(k), IRA, or similar plan)? | Confirms US jurisdiction and that a retirement account is actually involved before the firm spends time reviewing an unrelated matter. |
| Do you own (or expect to inherit soon) a retirement account that you want to pass to someone when you die? | Distinguishes an asset owner planning ahead from someone who has already inherited an account, which changes the urgency and framing of the matter. |
| Do you want the retirement account to go into a trust (instead of going directly to the person as a beneficiary)? | This is the highest-weighted signal because wanting the account to go into a trust is the core service this subservice covers. |
| Do you already have a trust or estate plan that you need to set up, update, or make sure works with your retirement account? | Shows whether the trust work is standalone or needs to be coordinated with an existing estate plan, which affects scope. |
| Is controlling how and when the money is used important (for example, protecting a minor, someone with special needs, or someone who might overspend or has creditor issues)? | Surfaces a protective-trust need, such as a minor, special-needs, or creditor-risk beneficiary, that materially changes drafting complexity. |
| Has the account owner died, and are you the trustee, executor, or a beneficiary dealing with the retirement account now? | Identifies post-death administration matters so they can be routed differently from prospective trust-planning matters. |
| Do you need help choosing or updating beneficiaries on the retirement account to match your trust or estate plan? | Flags leads that only want beneficiary designations updated, which is a narrower engagement than drafting a full trust. |

Common retirement plan trusts lead scenarios
Building a trust for a large 401(k)
The lead owns a sizable retirement account and wants it directed into a trust but has no existing estate plan yet, so the intake flags a foundational planning matter alongside the trust design.
Protecting a special-needs beneficiary
Controlling how and when the money is used matters because the intended beneficiary is a minor or has special needs, which the intake surfaces before the consultation is booked.
Trustee handling an inherited IRA
The account owner has already died and the person filling out the intake is the trustee or beneficiary dealing with the account now, so this routes as an administration matter rather than a prospective planning one.
Beneficiary update, not a new trust
The lead only wants help choosing or updating beneficiary designations and does not want the account moved into a trust, so the intake captures a narrower scope of work.
Existing trust needs account alignment
The lead already has a trust or estate plan and wants the retirement account's beneficiary designation checked against it, which the intake identifies as a lighter-touch review matter.

Retirement Plan Trusts lead-intake FAQs
How does the intake tell apart someone planning ahead from someone handling an account after a death?
The catalog separates ownership and inheritance-intent questions from the question asking whether the account owner has already died and the respondent is acting as trustee, executor, or beneficiary, so post-death matters are flagged differently from prospective planning ones.
What happens if the prospective client doesn't have an existing trust or estate plan yet?
The intake still scores that lead, since owning or inheriting a retirement account and wanting it in a trust carry the higher weights; a missing estate plan simply signals that additional foundational work may be needed.
Does the intake ask about protecting a minor, a special-needs beneficiary, or creditor concerns?
Yes, the catalog includes a direct question on whether controlling how and when the money is used matters for those situations, which raises the priority of the lead.
Can the intake handle someone who only wants beneficiary designations updated, not a full trust?
Yes, there's a dedicated question on updating beneficiaries to match an estate plan, which is scored separately from the question about moving the account into a trust, so the two scopes don't get conflated.
What does the intake collect before the consultation is scheduled?
It requests a recent retirement account statement, any existing trust or estate plan documents, and the current beneficiary designation form, so you're reviewing real documents rather than a verbal summary.
Does the intake screen out people who aren't in the US or don't actually own a retirement account?
Yes, the first two questions confirm US jurisdiction and retirement account ownership or expected inheritance, with a much lower weight assigned to 'no' answers so those leads score lower.
