## 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](https://ailawframework.com/practice/residential-conveyancing-and-property/review-the-contract-of-sale-and-draft-the-buyer-s-issues-report.md)

## 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
