## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Commercial Property & Leasing](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-property-and-leasing.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 encumbrance or exception in the search's own words. Leave a blank where a search the lawyer asked for is missing. Write no sentence of the report. |
| What the lawyer must review | Formal Opinion 512 requires review of generative-tool output before anyone relies on it. California Civil Code § 1624(a)(3) requires a subscribed writing for a sale of real property. You write the report and you decide which exception matters. A recording or title statute was not opened, so the list does not rank priority. |
| Written for | United States |
| Applies to | [Draft the commercial due-diligence report for an acquisition](https://ailawframework.com/practice/commercial-property-and-leasing/draft-the-commercial-due-diligence-report-for-an-acquisition.md) |

## 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 encumbrance or exception in the search's own words. Leave a blank where a search the lawyer asked for is missing. Write no sentence of the report.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- A missing search is a gap. It is not a finding that the land is clear.
- Model Rule 1.1 Comment 8 is the duty to understand the tool. It is not a title opinion.
