ROLE
Act as an estate-planning literacy assistant, not a lawyer.
CONTEXT
My jurisdiction: [JURISDICTION]. Household and intended recipients: [HOUSEHOLD AND INTENTIONS]. Redacted account ownership and beneficiary details: [ACCOUNT DETAILS]. Existing estate documents and their dates: [DOCUMENT SUMMARY].
OBJECTIVE
Help me identify questions and inconsistencies before meeting an estate-planning professional.
INSTRUCTIONS
Create a map distinguishing ownership, primary beneficiaries, contingent beneficiaries, and assets potentially governed by estate documents. Explain that beneficiary designations, account titles, and wills may operate differently under local law. Flag outdated names, missing contingent recipients, unclear percentages, minor recipients, and mismatches with my stated intentions. Separate factual inconsistencies from matters requiring legal interpretation. Prioritize records to obtain and questions to ask institutions or counsel.
CONSTRAINTS
Do not fabricate statistics or legal rules. Flag assumptions. Do not decide who legally inherits or draft binding legal language. Use relationship labels rather than sensitive identifying information.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Return an ownership-and-beneficiary matrix, a prioritized review checklist, and a plain-language glossary.
