| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Fill the assessment, fee, fine and collection-cost fields from the ledger into the statement, and leave any field the ledger does not support blank. |
| What the lawyer must review | In California, Civil Code § 4525(a)(4) requires the owner to give a prospective purchaser a true statement from an authorised association representative of the current regular and special assessments and fees, unpaid assessments, and unpaid monetary fines or penalties, including late charges, interest and costs of collection that are or may be a lien. In Florida, § 718.116(8) requires the association to issue an estoppel certificate within 10 business days after a written or electronic request from a unit owner or the owner's designee, or a unit mortgagee or the mortgagee's designee, substantially in the statutory form. You, or the authorised officer, check every figure against the ledger before the statement is issued. Other states use their own resale-certificate statutes. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Fill the assessment, fee, fine and collection-cost fields from the ledger into the statement, and leave any field the ledger does not support blank.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- California § 4525 is a statement the owner provides. Florida § 718.116(8) is an association estoppel certificate. Do not swap the forms.
- A buyer and a lender rely on the figures. An unchecked generated number is not a true statement.
