Pitfalls & Checks

  • No legal opinions. Use neutral, factual language throughout.
  • "As of" qualifiers. Every amount and date must state its reference date and cite the source.
  • Do not infer deadlines or priority rules. If not documented, mark UNKNOWN and flag as state-specific.
  • Conflicting data. Only reconcile when the source hierarchy is explicit; otherwise present both values and note the conflict.
  • Redact PII. Mask SSNs, full account numbers, and other sensitive identifiers.
  • Unverified citations. Tag with [VERIFY].
  • Jurisdiction terminology. Use probate terms consistent with the governing state's courts.
