## Checking plan

**Line-by-line review**

Review the complete output at the level of each line; check facts, meaning and omissions.

- What the AI does: From the death certificate, copy the date of death and count 12 months on a calendar. Record any consent or extension order that is already on the file. The tool does not prepare an application.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer decides whether the last day has passed and whether an extension or a consent is available. Only the New South Wales section was opened. Eligibility is a separate decision.
- 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. Count 12 months from the date of death, not from the grant.
2. Treat the application as made on the day it is filed, not on the day it is served.
3. Do not assume an extension. Record the sufficient cause or the consent before advising that a late application can be filed.
4. Do not prepare the application in this note.

## 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.
