Used for these tasks

Each task page says how far AI may help with the task and what the lawyer must review.

How AI may be used

AI may check the draft against the current official form and list what is missing; the lawyer settles every statement that will be filed and signs or lodges the form.

AI may

  • Check the draft is the current version of the form and list every blank field or missing attachment
  • Index the documents on the file that the form calls for, with date and author
  • Turn the court's published filing and service steps into a checklist for this matter

AI must not

  • Must not write allegations, grounds, orders or figures in words that will be filed
  • Must not decide jurisdiction, standing or whether a time limit has been met
  • Must not sign, lodge or serve the form

The lawyer checks

  • The step is a citation to take probate, and Form 125 is the citation the list publishes
  • Form 124 is considered if the rules require a request for issue
  • The current files are downloaded from the forms list
  • The lawyer checks the probate chapter before the citation is issued

Method: how the Green, Yellow and Red levels are decided. This is guidance for planning, not legal advice.
