Use when asked to review a contract before signing, or to build a contract-review checklist — covering scope, payment, termination, liability, confidentiality, and renewal terms — as a general review practice rather than a specific type of contract; for general guidance only, not legal advice, so always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to plan or explain estate planning — the broader practice of arranging how a person's assets and affairs will be handled during incapacity and after death, of which a will and a power of attorney are two specific component documents — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft, review, or explain a last will and testament — a legal document stating how a person's assets should be distributed after death and naming an executor to carry that out — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft, review, or explain a lease agreement — a legal contract between a landlord and tenant setting the terms for renting property — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft, review, or explain a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) — a legal agreement protecting confidential information shared between parties, mutual or one-way — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft, review, or explain a power of attorney — a legal document authorizing someone (the agent, or attorney-in-fact) to act on another person's (the principal's) behalf for financial, legal, or medical decisions — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft or review a privacy policy — the legal disclosure of what personal data a product collects, why, and how it's handled — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation, jurisdiction, and regulatory obligations (e.g. GDPR, CCPA). Distinct from a [[terms-of-service]], which governs usage rights and conduct rather than data handling.
Use when asked about the ongoing operational management of a rental property or portfolio on behalf of an owner — rent collection, maintenance, tenant communication, inspections — distinct from a [[lease-agreement]], which is the contract with one tenant, where this is the ongoing operational practice across the property's lifecycle and possibly multiple units and tenants.
Use when asked to write a request for proposal (RFP) — a procurement document soliciting competing bids from vendors for a defined need — as distinct from a [[statement-of-work]], which defines what the vendor actually selected will deliver, usually written after the RFP process ends.
Use when asked to draft or review a service level agreement (SLA) — defining expected service performance such as uptime, response time, or support tiers between a provider and customer — as distinct from a statement-of-work, which defines a project's specific deliverables and scope rather than ongoing performance standards; for general guidance only, not legal advice, so always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction.
Use when asked to draft or review terms of service (ToS) — the legal agreement governing how users may use a product or service — for general guidance only, not legal advice; always direct the reader to consult a qualified lawyer for their specific situation and jurisdiction. Distinct from a [[privacy-policy]], which governs data handling rather than usage rights and conduct.
Use when asked to set up or run ongoing vendor management — the practice of overseeing an external vendor relationship after a contract is signed — as distinct from the earlier selection stage covered by [[request-for-proposal]] and [[contract-review]].
