## Key facts

| Fact | Value |

| Practice area | [Elder Law & Powers of Attorney / Guardianship](https://ailawframework.com/practice/elder-law-and-powers-of-attorney-guardianship.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List each attorney the instrument names, and record whether that person's acceptance is signed and dated. Do not say an unsigned attorney may act. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide who may act. No acceptance statute was opened. A signed acceptance is a fact on the paper. It is not a finding that the power is effective. An unsigned line stays unsigned. Model Rule 1.4(b) is the explanation. Formal Opinion 512 requires you to look at the page, not a generated name. A person who signed as a witness is not listed as an attorney. |
