## 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 issue the lawyer has listed. Mark the contract clause that addresses it, or mark the issue missing. Use the contract's words. Write no sentence of the contract. |
| What the lawyer must review | California Civil Code § 1624(a)(3) makes an agreement for the sale of real property invalid unless it is in writing and subscribed by the party to be charged. An agent's authority must be in writing subscribed by that party. If a party may be a foreign person acquiring agricultural land, 7 U.S.C. § 3501(a) is a report to the Secretary of Agriculture not later than 90 days after acquisition, not an approval. You decide whether either statute applies. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: One row per issue the lawyer has listed. Mark the contract clause that addresses it, or mark the issue missing. Use the contract's words. Write no sentence of the contract.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A missing issue is a gap in the draft. It is not a finding that the term is agreed.
- Section 3501 has no acreage or dollar threshold in the text that was read. Do not invent one.
