adameliaslaw takes Mike into statute-first estate planning
This fork shifts Mike beyond case-law research toward the primary authorities that drive private-client work.
It adds estate planning, probate and estate administration, and elder law to the product's practice focus, then draws clearer lines around what statutory research is actually available.
- Federal statutes and Treasury regulations can be retrieved from public sources without new API keys.
- New Jersey statutes can be imported from the Legislature's official publication, then searched or looked up by section.
- Results disclose how current the New Jersey import is, rather than implying live coverage.
- Where a state is unsupported, Mike is directed to say so instead of relying on model memory.
- Users can see statutory searches happening in the product while they wait.
The important move is not merely broader subject matter: it is making source-backed statutory answers, and their limits, visible.
So what Private-client firms and legal-product teams should care if they want AI research that is candid about the authority it can retrieve before using it in estate-planning workflows.
