Reviewing Client-Submitted People, Assets, Debts, and Expenses
When clients use the portal to submit or update information about the estate, their submissions appear in your portal view for review. Items submitted by clients are initially unapproved and must be reviewed before they appear in the Estate Overview, giving you complete oversight.
🔍 How to Review Submissions
When a client updates information in the Client Portal, such as correcting a value, adding a new entry, or changing details on an existing item, your firm will receive an email notification (learn more).
You can then review the changes and update the estate information in EstateMin as needed. This allows clients to provide corrections or additions on their own without needing to contact your office directly.
- Open the matter and navigate to the Client Portals tab.
- Find the client's portal card (they must have an Active status).
- Look for red notification badges on the progress steps. These badges indicate new items have been submitted since your last review.
- Click on a step (e.g., Assets of the Estate) to expand it and see the submitted items.
- Review each item. You can approve or reject individual submissions.

✅ Approval Process
When you approve an item, it becomes part of the official estate record and appears in the Estate Overview. When you reject an item, it will not be included.
The completion counter (e.g., "3/5 Completed") shows how many steps the client has marked as complete on their side.
💡 Note: Clicking on a step with a notification badge clears the badge, indicating you have seen the new submissions.
