## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Agribusiness & Rural Law](https://ailawframework.com/practice/agribusiness-and-rural-law.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | One row per search the lawyer has obtained. Columns are the search name, the date on it, and the interest or exception in the search's own words. Leave a blank where a search the lawyer asked for is missing. Do not say title is clear. |
| What the lawyer must review | California Civil Code § 1624(a)(3) requires a subscribed writing for a sale of real property or a lease longer than one year. If a foreign person may acquire or transfer a non-security interest in agricultural land, 7 U.S.C. § 3501(a) is a report to the Secretary of Agriculture not later than 90 days after that date. The text states no acreage or dollar threshold. You decide which search matters. A recording or priority statute was not opened. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per search the lawyer has obtained. Columns are the search name, the date on it, and the interest or exception in the search's own words. Leave a blank where a search the lawyer asked for is missing. Do not say title is clear.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The table does not rank title and does not clear it.
- Do not screen a foreign-investment approval. The opened section is a report, not an approval.
- Water, zoning, and environmental searches were not given a statute.
