## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| 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 | Summarize the minutes the lawyer marks, with the meeting date and the decision as the minutes state it. Write no sentence of an application. |
| What the lawyer must review | You check the summary against the minutes. California Civil Code § 5200 includes agendas and minutes of member, board and committee meetings in association records, and it excludes minutes and other information from executive sessions of the board. Do not summarize an executive-session minute into a note that might be filed. You write any application. The time to produce records is not in § 5200. Formal Opinion 512: you remain responsible for anything filed. This is California. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Summarize the minutes the lawyer marks, with the meeting date and the decision as the minutes state it. Write no sentence of an application.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Executive-session minutes stay out of the summary unless the lawyer has decided they can be used.
- The summary is not the application. No sentence of an application is written by the tool.
