## Used for these tasks

- [Prepare the probate or letters-of-administration application pack](https://ailawframework.com/practice/wills-estates-probate-and-succession/prepare-the-probate-or-letters-of-administration-application-pack.md)

## 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
