AI in The Practice of Law

AI in The Practice of Law

AI in The Practice of Law AI is becoming a greater part of everyday life and that includes the legal profession. In this podcast we discuss the applications and pitfalls of AI in the legal space. We touch on hallucinations, confidentiality concerns and human review. Time savings, research and analysis benefits are also points of discussion we will mention. Our experience includes the use of the Clio case management software and its AI systems (especially Vincent), as well as other larger language models. Hopefully this discussion will provide you with a better understanding of AI in the practice of law.

Gray Divorce

Gray Divorce is a concept where older couples divorce late in life. This can be done for personal reasons; however, many wish to use divorce as a tool to get an unwell spouse onto public benefits. While this can work under certain circumstances, we discuss why in most this is unadvisable. Divorce can also have unintended consequences. Such as, the capable now ex-spouse having no authority over medical decisions or the estate of the unwell spouse. The wealth distribution also needs to be considered after a divorce. If the assets are evenly split, the capable spouse may be left with a residence and no cash or vice versa. Agencies will look at the divorce with scrutiny if the asset split is much more favorable to the capable spouse. In this podcast, we discuss alternatives and possible scenarios where a gray divorce might make sense.

Family Real Estate Assistance

Family Real Estate Assistance It is somewhat common for family members to want to assist their loved ones with real estate purchases. Whether this is help with a down payment, outright gifting of a property, or some kind of loan. For estate and tax purposes; however, it is important to be clear about the type of help you are giving. Family real estate assistance can be an amazing gift if done right but good documentation is needed for this. We discuss potential mistakes and consequences for not creating this documentation in this podcast. Today we are joined by friend of the firm (and fellow Tucson attorney), Jeffrey Neff from Neff Law, PLLC. [https://www.nefflawaz.com/about.html]

A Look at the Hermitage

Today we are taking a look at the Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary. Cats have a special place in many of our hearts. Several of our staff own cats and one of our attorneys, Jordan S. Young, even volunteers for the Hermitage. We discuss the Hermitage in this podcast because many of our clients discuss ways they would like to provide for the care of their pets after they pass. The Hermitage has a program specifically for this, so we believe taking a look at the Hermitage may give you some helpful ideas on how to incorporate your furry friends into your estate plans. This week we are joined by Michelle and Tiffany from the Hermitage No-Kill Cat Shelter & Sanctuary [https://www.hermitagecatshelter.org/].

AI and Deeds

AI and Deeds We have had many clients over the past couple of years wonder if Artificial Intelligence could create deeds and other documents for them. While AI can create documents, we do not often recommend using it for this purpose. AI lacks nuance and expertise. It can also make errors that are easy to overlook. In this podcast we discuss artificial intelligence’s role in creating deeds. We also touch on a human attorney’s role in the preparation of a deed and the positives they bring to the table. Today we are joined by friend of the firm (and fellow Tucson attorney), Jeffrey Neff from Neff Law, PLLC. [https://www.nefflawaz.com/about.html]
