Built into every EstateDraftFL document

Cite Check: catch the statute that isn’t real.

Every Florida statute and Probate Rule your document cites is checked against our source-locked corpus — so the AI-hallucinated statute that gets plans rejected and lawyers embarrassed is flagged before you sign or file.

Format-correct is not the same as real.

A hallucinated statute can be perfectly formatted. EstateDraftFL doesn’t generate citations as text — it retrieves each one from a fixed, byte-verified Florida corpus and rejects anything outside it.

✓Florida grammar — Fla. Stat. § / Fla. Prob. R. / Fla. Admin. Code r. — correct citation form for every section.
✓Existence-verified — every cited section matched to a real, source-locked statute — invented numbers caught.
✓Fail-closed — an unsourced citation reverts the draft to the deterministic skeleton — it never ships.

§ 736.0813 — found in the source-locked corpus; the quoted words match it byte for byte

The statute exists in the version the matter relies on, and the quotation is exact.

How: Byte-exact quotes against the source-locked Florida corpus

From the Rivera family's estate plan — a fictional matter at Meadow & Grove, P.A., a demonstration firm. Sample data only.

Where Cite Check runs

Every document assembled on EstateDraftFL has its statutory citations retrieved from the source-locked corpus when the document is assembled. The interactive brief checker — paste a brief, motion, or memorandum and check every citation in it — runs in the attorney workstation, under the firm’s own attorney. EstateDraftFL does not produce a personalized report for consumers.

Keep in mind: Cite Check verifies that a case exists; whether it is still good law is a citator question the platform does not answer. Capabilities, limits and refusals →

What does Cite Check verify?

Every statutory citation in a generated document is checked against EstateDraftFL's loaded, hashed Florida corpus (Chapters 731-740, 744, 765, 709, 198 + the Florida Probate Rules 5.x). A citation that does not resolve to a real, source-locked section is flagged and the draft reverts to the deterministic skeleton — it never ships a made-up statute.

How is this different from a generic AI tool?

Generic AI generates citations as text, so it can produce a perfectly formatted statute number that does not exist. EstateDraftFL retrieves the statute from a fixed, byte-verified corpus and rejects anything outside it. Format-correct is not the same as real — Cite Check checks that the law is real, not just well-formatted.
