## Key facts

| Practice area | [Wills, Estates, Probate & Succession](https://ailawframework.com/practice/wills-estates-probate-and-succession.md) |
| Human involvement | Yellow: Lawyer and AI draft together |
| How AI is used | Compare the court's practice-direction index with the filing checklist for an estate proceeding. |
| What the lawyer must review | On 10 October 2026 the Tasmanian practice directions index, the ACT Supreme Court practice directions list and the Northern Territory current practice directions list did not include an AI direction. That check is not a permission to use AI, and it does not replace the solicitor conduct rules. Open the current index again before relying on it. The Tasmanian technology direction from 2019 and the Northern Territory information-technology direction from 2002 were not opened. The Northern Territory expired-directions page was not fetched. |

- What the lawyer does: On 10 October 2026 the Tasmanian practice directions index, the ACT Supreme Court practice directions list and the Northern Territory current practice directions list did not include an AI direction. That check is not a permission to use AI, and it does not replace the solicitor conduct rules. Open the current index again before relying on it.
