When to use it
Use after the purchase-contract due diligence checklist has been filled from documents in the file. Send it only after the lawyer has written the conclusion in each section that applies to this property.
Used for these tasks
- Review the contract of sale and draft the buyer's issues report
- Draft the client report: offer advice, pre-contract and post-settlement
- Check a contract of sale against searches before exchange
Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.
How AI may be used
A tool may drop the completed checklist rows into the tables. The lawyer writes every sentence that tells the buyer what to do.
AI may
- Insert the checklist tables under the matching heading
- Leave a heading out when the checklist marks that topic as outside this file, and show the lawyer the omission
- List checklist rows that are still blank at the end of the letter
AI must not
- Must not write the recommendation in any section
- Must not tell the buyer a lead exception applies unless the lawyer has named the EPA category and the supporting fact
- Must not state a FIRPTA exception as the tool's conclusion
- Must not send the letter
The lawyer checks
- Each included section has a conclusion in the lawyer's words
- Lead advice matches the EPA categories and the papers in the file
- Withholding advice matches the FIRPTA file note
- The letter does not add a day-count for the Loan Estimate or the Closing Disclosure
Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
