## 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 facts in the searches the lawyer marks, each with the search name and page. Do not write the disclosure the seller will sign. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, California. |
| What the lawyer must review | You write the disclosure. California Civil Code § 1102(a), on the Justia page, applies the article to the transfers of single-family residential property that the section names, except as provided in § 1102.2. That exception section was not opened. Do not list exemptions and do not invent line items. Section 1102 does not set them out. Section 1102(c) makes a waiver void. Justia says its text may not be the latest version. Open the official code and the current state form before anything is signed. Formal Opinion 512 applies to the use of a tool on the search set. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, California. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the facts in the searches the lawyer marks, each with the search name and page. Do not write the disclosure the seller will sign. State law governs, and the lawyer confirms the governing state. For example, California.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- This is a California statute. Do not use it for a sale in another state.
- The searches are client information. Rule 1.6 applies before they go into a tool.
- State law governs; confirm the governing state before relying on this.
