## Key facts

| Fact | Value |
| --- | --- |
| 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 | Place each topic in the office precedent beside the tool-written document and mark a topic that is missing, extra, or worded differently. Quote both pages. Decide no question of validity. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether any difference matters and you write the will that is signed. Probate Code § 6110 requires the writing, the signature, and, unless § 6110(c)(2) is later proved by clear and convincing evidence of intent, two witnesses present at the same time. Section 6100.5 states when the testator is not mentally competent. A match to a precedent is not execution and it is not a capacity finding. Opinion 512 requires you to check the comparison against both documents. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: Place each topic in the office precedent beside the tool-written document and mark a topic that is missing, extra, or worded differently. Quote both pages. Decide no question of validity.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- The office precedent is the one you supply. The tool does not fetch a form from the web.
- Section 6110(c)(2) is proved by the proponent after the fact. It is not a substitute for witnesses at signing.
