There are companies already doing this for specific kinds of contracts, e.g. DealSumm [1] (https://www.dealsumm.com/ https://www.dealsumm.com/). You give them a large corpus of lease agreements (e.g. for an apartment building you've just bought) and they give you a nice structured representation of the obligations, total revenue, all the upcoming deadlines, etc.
Due to the requirement of legal language to be consistent and explicit (e.g. defining most terms in an annex), it's actually a very easy workload for NLP techniques, and the software is in production and widely used. Don't know if there's a version specifically trained for wills, but it would probably not be very hard to put together.
