Prompt for an approved AI tool to turn title, water register, planning and encumbrance searches for a farm purchase into a due diligence table with source references and a first-draft requisitions list, with built-in limits.

## Key facts

- Kind: AI prompt. A prompt to give an AI tool, with the checks that go with it.
- Practice area: [Agribusiness & Rural Law](https://ailawframework.com/precedents/agribusiness-and-rural-law.md)
- Jurisdictions: New South Wales, Australia
- AI level: Yellow. AI can help in set ways. A lawyer checks specific points before use.
- Law stated as at: 2026-10-17
- Status: Maintained. Checked on 2026-10-17 against the 3 authorities it cites, for New South Wales and Australia.

## When to use it

Use on a rural purchase or financing once official searches are on file and the firm has approved the tool for client data. Do not use it to decide whether a water transfer can proceed or whether Indigenous-title or heritage issues affect the land.

## How AI may be used

AI-specific. The prompt keeps the tool to extraction and tabulation with sources. Water entitlement and Indigenous-title questions are treated as high risk: the tool lists facts and gaps only, and the lawyer reaches every conclusion.

**AI may:**

- Extract title, encumbrance, planning, access and water register details into the table with document and page references.
- List apparent gaps and inconsistencies between the contract, the inventories and the searches.
- Draft first-pass requisitions for the lawyer to edit.

**AI must not:**

- Must not conclude whether a water access licence, share or allocation can be transferred, or whether tagging or trade rules permit it.
- Must not conclude whether native title, an Aboriginal land claim or heritage listing affects the land.
- Must not fill gaps with assumptions or general knowledge.

**The lawyer checks:**

- Every row has been checked against the source search, and searches are current.
- Water licence details have been checked against a current NSW Water Register extract and the dealing rules for the water source.
- Indigenous-title and heritage searches have been reviewed by the lawyer personally.
