| Practice area | [Strata & Community Titles](https://ailawframework.com/practice/strata-and-community-titles.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | List the documents that fall within the § 5200 categories the lawyer marks as covered by the request. Keep executive-session minutes on a separate flag list. Write no cover letter and state no deadline. |
| What the lawyer must review | California Civil Code § 5200 defines association records. The categories include the financial records the section describes, executed contracts not otherwise privileged under law, agendas and minutes other than executive-session minutes, and membership lists. You decide what the request covers and what is privileged. You read the rest of the membership-list paragraph before a list is produced. The time to produce records, and any fee, are not in this section. Open the later sections of the article before a date is promised. This is California. Other states differ. Model Rule 1.6: do not put the records into a public tool. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List the documents that fall within the § 5200 categories the lawyer marks as covered by the request. Keep executive-session minutes on a separate flag list. Write no cover letter and state no deadline.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Section 5200 does not state a production deadline. Do not add one.
- Privileged contracts and executive-session minutes stay off the producible list until the lawyer says otherwise.
