Frequently Asked Questions
Can Legal Research replace Westlaw or LexisNexis for property law?
Legal Research covers US federal and state case law including appellate decisions relevant to real property disputes. For active litigation, always verify citations through your firm's primary legal research subscription, but the tool is highly effective for initial research, issue spotting, and building argument frameworks.
Is the compliance screening sufficient for FinCEN Geographic Targeting Orders?
Compliance Screening checks OFAC SDN lists, PEP databases, and adverse media — covering the core due diligence requirements under FinCEN GTOs for high-value real estate transactions. For transactions above GTO thresholds, document your screening results and retain records per FinCEN requirements.
How current is the corporate registration data in Company Lookup?
Company Lookup pulls from official government registries including state SOS databases and Companies House. Data is typically current within days for US entities. Always request a certified good-standing certificate directly from the state for transactions requiring it.
Can the Word Documents tool produce attorney-quality contract drafts?
The tool generates well-structured first drafts from transaction parameters, suitable for attorney review and markup. Output should always be reviewed and customized by a licensed attorney — it is a drafting accelerator, not a replacement for professional legal judgment.
How useful is market data for eminent domain or condemnation cases?
Real Estate Data provides comparable sales, price-per-sqft trends, and cap rate ranges that are directly relevant to just compensation calculations. This data supplements formal appraisals and can help identify whether a condemnation offer reflects true market value.
