| How AI is used | The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, Florida Statutes s 736.0201(4) describes questions a trust proceeding may present. From the deed and the issue the lawyer names, list each question about administration, distribution, or construction, and the clause or fact it depends on. Do not write a complaint. |
| What the lawyer must review | The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, Florida Statutes s 736.0201(4) says a judicial proceeding involving a trust may relate to validity, administration, or distribution, including a proceeding to determine any question arising in the administration or distribution of a trust, questions of construction, instructing trustees, and the existence or nonexistence of an immunity, power, privilege, duty, or right. Subsection (1) says judicial proceedings concerning trusts are commenced by filing a complaint and are governed by the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure, except as provided in subsections (5), (6), and (7) and section 736.0206. Section 736.0206 was not opened. A trust is not under continuing supervision unless the court orders it. The tool lists questions and the clause each one uses. It writes no complaint. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: The rule is state law, and the lawyer must confirm which state's law governs. For example, Florida Statutes s 736.0201(4) describes questions a trust proceeding may present. From the deed and the issue the lawyer names, list each question about administration, distribution, or construction, and the clause or fact it depends on. Do not write a complaint.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Wills, intestacy and probate are state law; confirm the governing state before relying on this.
- The Florida example is 2025 Florida Statutes text. The Senate site says the text is unverified. Another state's statute was not opened.
- Do not write the complaint. Section 736.0206 was not opened.
