Introducing: The Suitability Check Agreement - Confidential Entry Assessment for Wills & Estates Collaborations
Getting families to the Collaborative table is an art—and this agreement, facilitated by a skilled coach, is the key ingredient for a supported and successful start.
The Suitability Check Agreement is a professionally drafted confidentiality agreement designed to support the earliest, most pivotal step of your collaborative matters: the independent suitability assessment led by a neutral Communications Coach.
Whether it’s a Family Inclusive Succession Plan or a Disputed Estate collaboration, this agreement protects the confidentiality of early discussions, secures trust in the process, and dramatically increases the success rate of collaborative onboarding.
What’s Included:
- A ready-to-use, adaptable confidentiality agreement for use by Communications Coaches to assess suitability of the family for Collaborative Estate Matters – before Participation Agreements are prepared
- Covers all essentials: neutral role definition for communication coach, non-disclosure of confidential information until matter is assessed as suitable, court inadmissibility protections, and indemnities
- Designed to allow later-onboarding of collaborative professionals with clear, seamless extensions
Why It Works:
- Transforms onboarding from friction to flow by centring the process around a trusted neutral
- Increases buy-in from the family through a non-threatening entry point without risk of early legal entrenchment
- Reinforces the integrity and confidentiality of early-stage communications
- Supports collaborative lawyers, coaches and financial neutrals alike with a consistent, professional framework
