Drafting Wills with AI: A Balanced Approach

Where AI helps

AI-assisted drafting shines at the repetitive work: pulling jurisdiction-specific witness blocks, pre-filling client data, and generating consistent structure across document types.

Where it doesn't

AI cannot:

• Assess capacity or undue influence.
• Advise on tax strategy.
• Certify the final document.

That remains the attorney's role — and the law expects it.

A responsible workflow

1. Generate a first draft from an approved template.
2. Review every clause against the client's intent.
3. Tailor governing law and execution formalities.
4. Supervise signing and notarization.

Used this way, AI gives you speed without giving up the judgment your clients pay for.
