Estate planning vacation works with (1) covering attorney for unexpected death-of-client situations, (2) pre-handled deadlines for probate filings during the trip window, (3) clear protocol for the rare 'urgent amendment' request.

Most amendment requests, routine probate work, beneficiary disputes that aren't deadline-driven, new client intake.
Probate filing deadlines (state-specific, often 30-90 days from death). Some terminal-diagnosis amendments. Active will-contest motions.
Most uncommon-but-urgent call. Process to brief your covering attorney on:
