Frequently Asked Questions

About Asset Protection

Is a contract still legally binding if AI drafted it?

Generally, yes. A California court looks at whether the elements of a contract are present offer, acceptance, consideration, capacity, and a lawful purpose not at what tool produced the language. That is precisely the problem. The risk is rarely that your agreement is invalid. It is that the agreement is fully enforceable as written, and what it says is not what you meant.

What goes wrong most often in AI-drafted documents?

Four things. Provisions borrowed from other states that do not work here a non-compete, for example, is void under California Business and Professions Code § 16600, and employers who use one face notice obligations and civil penalties. Terms that reflected the law a few years ago but no longer do. Silence on the one issue you will actually end up fighting about. And citations to authority that reads convincingly and does not exist.

Can AI prepare a will, a trust, or a deed?

It can produce a document that reads like one. Whether that document works depends on execution, and execution is governed by statute. Under California Probate Code § 6110, an attested will must be signed by the testator and witnessed by at least two people who are present at the same time. Deeds carry their own signing, notarization, and recording requirements. A well-worded instrument that is executed incorrectly can fail completely.

Is what I type into an AI tool confidential?

No. Your exchange with an AI service is not protected by the attorney-client privilege, and depending on the service, what you enter may be retained or reviewed. The details of your business, your holdings, and your family are exactly the kind of information that belongs in a privileged conversation with your attorney.

What does a Brown and Brown document review include?

We read your document against your objective, not just for typos. We assess whether its terms are enforceable in California, identify what is missing or ambiguous, mark up the language we would change, and tell you plainly whether the document accomplishes what you set out to do. We review documents drafted by AI, drafted by the other side, and drafted by other attorneys.

I already signed it. Is it too late?

Not necessarily. Many agreements can be amended, restated, or replaced by mutual consent, and most estate planning documents can be revised while you have capacity. The time to find the problem is now before a judge, an auditor, or opposing counsel finds it for you.
