Would Your Practice
Survive Your Absence?
Most succession tools ask one question: what is your firm worth? That is the smaller half. The harder, more important half is whether your clients would be protected if you were suddenly out — on vacation, ill, or for good. This is a confidential, 5-minute self-check of where your practice actually stands.

This self-assessment is an educational tool, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Readiness is scored from your own answers and is not a substitute for a tailored continuity or succession plan.
