Document Collection Automation for Coroners

Let your AI agent handle the endless paperwork—wills, burial instructions, and case files—so you can focus on investigations, not chasing documents.

You spend hours each week as a coroner or case manager digging through Outlook, shared drives, and case management systems like CaseGuard just to find missing documents. Important files get buried in email threads, and you’re left following up with families and legal reps over and over. The paperwork grind slows down your investigations and adds stress to an already sensitive job.

An AI agent that collects, tracks, and compiles wills, burial instructions, and case files for coroners, reducing manual follow-ups and paperwork delays.

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In the medical examiner’s office, coroners and case managers are stuck tracking down wills, burial instructions, and permits from families and attorneys. Most of this work happens in Outlook, Excel, and legacy case management systems like CaseGuard or ForensiDocs. Every missing document means another round of emails or calls, delaying case closure and next-of-kin notifications.
