## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Practice area | [Trusts & Estate Planning](https://ailawframework.com/practice/trusts-and-estate-planning.md) |
| Human involvement | Green: AI drafts, lawyer checks |
| How AI is used | Produce the transfer, duty and notification schedule from the firm's validated template, listing each asset from the trust's asset register with the dealing required, the duty concession to be claimed, and the evidence the revenue office of each relevant state requires for it. |
| What the lawyer must review | Confirm the appointment was made in the manner the deed requires and by the person who holds the power, check that the concession relied on applies to this transfer rather than to a transfer to a custodian or to a newly created trust, and confirm nothing on the asset register has been left off the schedule. |

## Checking plan

**Lawyer review required**

The responsible lawyer reviews the work against the instructions, sources and intended use.

- What the AI does: Produce the transfer, duty and notification schedule from the firm's validated template, listing each asset from the trust's asset register with the dealing required, the duty concession to be claimed, and the evidence the revenue office of each relevant state requires for it.
- What the lawyer does: Confirm the appointment was made in the manner the deed requires and by the person who holds the power, check that the concession relied on applies to this transfer rather than to a transfer to a custodian or to a newly created trust, and confirm nothing on the asset register has been left off the schedule.
- Who reviews: Responsible lawyer with competence in the matter
- Basis: Practical workflow informed by the linked primary sources; the traffic light and working checks are editorial guidance, not a court classification.
- Why: The level reflects what the work is, the consequence of an error, and how much of the output the lawyer must independently re-derive.

## Checks the lawyer makes

1. Confirm the instructions, the jurisdiction and the complete relevant material before starting.
2. Confirm the appointment was made in the manner the deed requires and by the person who holds the power, check that the concession relied on applies to this transfer rather than to a transfer to a custodian or to a newly created trust, and confirm nothing on the asset register has been left off the schedule.
3. Check the output against the source documents named in it before it is relied on.

## Notes

- These are suggested working checks. Confirm the required checking with the responsible lawyer before work starts; the checking approach does not establish permission to use AI.
