Prepare court-approval papers for a child or protected-person settlement
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- The approval affidavit, counsel's opinion and the proposed orders are the lawyer's to write and the tool writes nothing into any of them. Compare the lawyer's draft against the proofing note and the executed settlement terms, index the annexures — medical and care reports, costs disclosure and fund-management material — list every assertion about the protected person's interests that has no source on the file, reconcile the deductions — statutory refunds, costs and disbursements — against the source notices so the net sum to be held for the protected person adds up, and check the papers and the proposed orders against the approval requirements and certificates the lawyer supplies.
- What the lawyer must review
- Approval is the court's. The lawyer writes the affidavit, the opinion and the proposed orders, and the tutor or guardian swears only what they can adopt as their own evidence. Confirm the current approval rules and that the compromise is in the person's interests.
