## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Residential Conveyancing & Property](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-conveyancing-and-property.md) |
| Human involvement | Red: Lawyer writes; AI may check, clarify or collect data |
| How AI is used | List the changes the lawyer has already written, in the lawyer's words, with the contract clause each change affects. Do not write a new clause. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write every amendment that will be signed. Model Rule 1.4(b) requires an explanation sufficient for the client to decide whether to agree. Comment 8 to Rule 1.1 and Formal Opinion 512 govern the use of a tool to compare the draft with the signed contract. No national statute of special conditions was opened. If the amendment touches a California residential disclosure, § 1102(c) still makes a waiver of that article void, and you decide whether the amendment is a waiver. |
