Probate and estate closings: the extra six steps
Lesson 5 of 6 · Close it
1 · Learn the move · Flipped interaction
An estate closing has the ordinary packet plus a second set of steps that decide whether anyone at the table can sign. Which steps apply depends on facts you may not have gathered yet: whether an estate was opened, who the court appointed, whether the sale needs court approval, whether all heirs must join, whether a claims period is still running. Ask a model for 'the probate closing steps' and it will write a generic list that states rules it cannot know for your state and your estate. Flip it. Make it interview you, one question at a time, with a stop condition, and build the extra steps only from your answers and the court documents you paste. Every step routes to a probate attorney licensed in the state.
Before you list anything, interview me about this estate one question at a time. Ask only what you need to know which extra closing steps apply. Stop after at most eight questions. Then give me the extra steps, each tied to a document I gave you or marked [NEEDS: the document], and route every rule question to a probate attorney licensed in the state.
2 · Your turn. You write the prompt
You have a contract on a 31-acre tract in Garrick County signed by the owner's daughter, who says she is 'handling her dad's estate'. The father died last year. You have a copy of a court document she emailed and a death certificate, and nothing else. The title company asked who has authority to sign. Write the prompt that finds out what you do not know before it tells you what to do.
Write the prompt for this scenario as given, or swap in a real one from your own work. The score works the same either way.
Remember: the AI sees only your prompt, not this page. If the situation isn't in your prompt, it doesn't exist.
