## 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 | From the loan and security documents and the default history, confirm the facility is a farm debt secured by a farm mortgage on the information supplied, populate the approved-form notice, calculate the earliest enforcement date and the farmer’s response window, and build the step tracker (request for mediation, mediator, documents, heads of agreement, certificates). |
| What the lawyer must review | The lawyer decides whether the statute applies to this debt and creditor, confirms the notice is in the approved form and properly given, decides how to respond to a mediation request, and confirms no enforcement step is taken before the statute permits it. |

## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: From the loan and security documents and the default history, confirm the facility is a farm debt secured by a farm mortgage on the information supplied, populate the approved-form notice, calculate the earliest enforcement date and the farmer’s response window, and build the step tracker (request for mediation, mediator, documents, heads of agreement, certificates).
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the statute applies to this debt and creditor, confirms the notice is in the approved form and properly given, decides how to respond to a mediation request, and confirms no enforcement step is taken before the statute permits it.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the debt, the security and the creditor are within the Act of the state where the farm is.
2. Check the notice against the current approved form and the method of giving it.
3. Confirm the earliest enforcement date independently before any enforcement step.
4. Confirm a certificate is in force, where needed, before enforcement begins.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
