## Checking plan

**Source-by-source verification**

Trace relied-on content to independent sources and check for relevant material the output has missed.

- What the AI does: Working with the lawyer from the will, the death certificate and the applicant's details, prepare the notice details and check each field against the source documents.
- What the lawyer does: The lawyer checks every name, date and address against the documents and approves the notice, knowing it cannot be edited after publication without a fee.
- 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. Check the deceased's names, date of death and last address against the death certificate and will.
2. Check the applicant's details against identification.
3. Confirm the competing-notice search was done first.

## 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.
