Something to think about. Ai is NOT an attorney
Notaries & AI-Generated Legal Documents — What You Need to Know
With AI tools becoming more widely available, some organizations are considering using them to create legal documents like Wills, Powers of Attorney, and Health Care Directives. But before you notarize one of these documents, here's what you should consider:
❌ AI is not an attorney. Legal documents require professional expertise, and relying on AI software as a substitute for a licensed attorney is strongly discouraged.
❌ AI-generated documents may not be legally binding. Just because software can produce a document doesn't mean it meets the legal requirements necessary to make it valid and enforceable.
❌ AI can be wrong. Errors or inaccuracies in AI-generated legal documents could create serious, unforeseen legal consequences for your clients down the road.
💡 Our recommendation? Continue referring clients to a licensed attorney for the creation of legal documents. It protects your clients — and it protects you.
