LAWINTAKE SAMPLE
Make the next action and handoff blocker visible on every new real-estate matter.
Where do Florida real-estate firms lose time between enquiry and matter handoff?
LawIntake is a configurable workflow view for Florida real-estate teams managing new matters: from first enquiry and conflict-screening preparation through engagement, document collection, internal review, matter opening, and handoff.
The fictional matter below shows the type of operational information a firm could see in one place: what is complete, what is blocked, who owns the next step, and whether the firm has marked the configured workflow ready for handoff.

What the team can see immediately
A compact view of common intake, review, document, ownership, engagement-readiness, and follow-up items for this fictional matter.
| Item | Status | Owner | Next action | Sample timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| New enquiry intake | Complete | Intake coordinator | Ready | Received today |
| Conflict party details | Received | Intake coordinator | Ready for firm review | Submitted today |
| Conflict review | Pending attorney review | Assigned attorney | Review screening summary | Next internal review |
| Acceptance decision | Not recorded | Assigned attorney | Record firm decision | After conflict review |
| Engagement / onboarding | Prepared | Intake coordinator | Send only after acceptance decision | Queued |
| Purchase contract | Received | Real-estate paralegal | Review key dates and parties | Next review cycle |
| Client identification documents | Received — review needed | Intake coordinator | Review under firm onboarding procedure | This week |
| Lender confirmation | Awaiting client | Client / intake coordinator | Confirm lender contact | Follow up in 2 business days |
| Association estoppel | Request in progress | Real-estate paralegal | Check response / follow up | 10 October 2026 — sample follow-up date |
The purpose is not to decide whether a matter is legally complete. It is to make the current operational state, ownership, timing, and next action visible before the next internal handoff.
Before the next handoff
The intake coordinator can see that the purchase contract is in, but the file should not move to engagement or matter opening yet. The next work is owned: attorney conflict review, firm acceptance decision, and onboarding-document review.
LawIntake is showing the work state and handoff blockers—not deciding whether the firm may act or whether the matter is legally complete.
Configurable for transaction-specific work
This fictional condominium purchase includes optional association follow-ups, an estoppel request, association documents, reserve-related information, and a firm review of whether a milestone-inspection or SIRS-related item is relevant.
These are illustrative firm-configured workflow items. The firm determines which items apply and whether available information is sufficient.
Does this reflect a workflow challenge your team faces?

Optional, firm-configured example for this fictional condominium purchase. The firm determines applicability, sufficiency, and next steps under its own procedures and professional judgment. Applicability-review rows are not completeness, deadline, or overdue determinations.
Ownership and next steps
The goal is to avoid unclear “pending” work by showing the next action, its owner, timing, and whether the firm has marked the sample workflow ready for the next handoff.
| Work item | Current status | Assigned owner | Next step | Timing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conflict review | Pending review | Assigned attorney | Assigned attorney reviews screening summary and decides next step | Next internal review |

| Client identification follow-up | Needs review | Intake coordinator | Review documents requested under firm onboarding procedure | This week |
| Association / estoppel follow-up | Waiting on response | Real-estate paralegal | Check response and chase outstanding association items | 10 October 2026 — sample follow-up date |

| Matter open / conveyancing handoff | Not marked ready in this sample workflow | Intake coordinator | Open or hand off when responsible firm reviewer marks configured items ready | After acceptance decision + configured outstanding items |
Operational workflow status—not a legal-completeness, compliance, deadline, or acceptance determination.
Conflict-check and engagement summary
Firm review required. LawIntake organises screening information and operational status; it does not determine whether a conflict exists, whether the firm proceeds, or whether an engagement should be sent.
| Review area | Status | Visible outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Buyer / client names | Captured | Available for firm conflict screening |
| Seller / listing-side parties | Captured | Listed for internal review |
| Other known counterparties | Captured | Included in screening pack |
| Conflict review | Pending firm review | Awaiting assigned attorney |
| Acceptance decision | Not decided | Awaiting firm decision before engagement is sent |
| Engagement / onboarding letter | Prepared — awaiting acceptance decision | Send only after firm decides to proceed |
| Matter open readiness | Not marked ready in this sample workflow | Handoff is not marked ready while configured review items remain open |
Safe screening fields only are shown. Do not treat this fictional sample as a complete conflict checklist.
