## 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 | List each document the draft application names and whether it is in the file, with the page. List documents in the file that the draft does not name. Decide nothing about sufficiency. |
| What the lawyer must review | You decide whether the application attaches what the court requires. Probate Code § 8800 requires the inventory and appraisal of property to be administered, and § 9050 requires notice to known or reasonably ascertainable creditors in addition to publication under § 8120. A matched row means the paper is in the file. It does not mean the application is ready to file. Opinion 512 keeps that decision with you. |

## Checking plan

- What the AI does: List each document the draft application names and whether it is in the file, with the page. List documents in the file that the draft does not name. Decide nothing about sufficiency.
- Basis: Checked against the linked sources on 22 October 2026. Confirm the current instrument before reliance.

## Notes

- Use the petition checklist for the court that will issue letters. This comparison does not supply that court's form.
- Publication under § 8120 is named by § 9050(b). Open § 8120 before you treat publication as done.
