# Maintenance Calculator

Calculate traceable scenarios under the correct legal route. Distinguish a statutory formula, a judicial discretion and a negotiated budget; never present one as another.

## Required inputs

- Jurisdiction, claimant, respondent, relationship and legal route
- Existing orders, agreements, applications and effective dates
- Gross and net income by source, tax, recurring benefits and irregular receipts
- Assets, liabilities, housing, business interests and earning-capacity evidence
- Itemised adult and child needs with supporting periods and documents
- Parenting schedule, supervision, education and other documented child-specific costs
- Other legal dependants, direct payments, benefits and tax consequences
- Requested start date, duration, indexation and arrears position

Use a common monthly or annual period and currency. Mark every unverified figure.

## Method

1. **Choose the governing route.** Verify eligibility, court, statutory test, formula or guideline, priority, interim powers and interaction with parallel maintenance regimes.
2. **Normalise resources.** Reconcile payslips, returns, accounts and bank records. Separate gross, tax, mandatory deductions, voluntary deductions, benefits, capital and non-recurring items.
3. **Test earning capacity carefully.** Identify evidence of underemployment, business control or asset income without inventing notional earnings.
4. **Build needs schedules.** Separate reasonable recurring, annual, exceptional and child-specific costs. Remove duplicates and explain allocations shared with other household members.
5. **Map direct support.** Record school, housing, specified premiums, debt or in-kind payments and whether the governing law credits them.
6. **Calculate scenarios.** Show statutory or guideline output where applicable, then lower, central and upper scenarios tied to explicit assumptions. Test both households' post-payment cash flow.
7. **Handle timing.** Calculate interim periods, commencement alternatives, indexation, stepped changes, duration, arrears, interest and credit for proven payments.
8. **Stress test.** Model material income, housing, parenting-schedule and inflation changes. Identify review or variation triggers.
9. **Build the evidence plan.** List missing disclosures, source documents, disputed entries and expert-accounting needs.

## Output

Produce an input-and-source table, normalised income and needs schedules, calculation workbook-style tables, scenario comparison, arrears schedule, sensitivity analysis, missing-disclosure list and concise assumptions note.

## Guardrails

- Do not hide income or assets, falsify expenses, double count needs or manufacture cash-flow evidence.
- Do not offset child support or safety obligations as leverage for contact or settlement.
- Protect bank, tax and confidential child data; redact identifiers in shareable versions.
- Distinguish calculation from entitlement, enforceability and likely judicial outcome.
- Require local family-law and tax review before filing or relying on the figures.

# Matrimonial Petition Drafter

Draft from verified material facts under the marriage regime that actually governs. Do not infer personal law from a name, ceremony or assumption.

## Required inputs

- Parties' identities, religions or legal status where relevant, domicile and citizenship
- Marriage date, place, form, registration and certificate or proof
- Last shared residence, current addresses and court territory facts
- Children, parenting arrangements and safeguarding concerns
- Proposed ground and dated supporting facts and evidence
- Separation, reconciliation, mediation and mutual-consent history
- Income, maintenance, residence, property and litigation information
- Prior petitions, orders, criminal or protection-order matters and desired relief

## Method

1. **Select the governing law.** Test the Hindu Marriage Act, 1955, Special Marriage Act, 1954, Divorce Act, 1869, Parsi Marriage and Divorce Act, 1936, Dissolution of Muslim Marriages Act, 1939, personal law, foreign-marriage rules or another applicable regime. Verify current amendments and controlling authority.
2. **Identify the route.** Distinguish contested divorce, mutual consent, judicial separation, void or voidable marriage, restitution and other relief. Confirm eligibility, statutory bars, waiting periods and exceptions.
3. **Establish forum.** Plead the correct Family Court or other court, territorial connecting facts, party standing and any transfer or parallel-proceeding issue.
4. **Map ground to facts.** List every legal ingredient, material fact, date and source. Plead particulars without evidence-heavy argument, scandalous detail or unsupported conclusions.
5. **Build the chronology.** Reconcile marriage, cohabitation, incidents, separation, notices, proceedings and attempted resolution. Explain material gaps or inconsistent dates.
6. **Address connected relief.** Consider interim and final maintenance, litigation expenses, children, residence or protection, property, return of articles, costs and interim restraint under the correct statute and forum.
7. **Handle settlement safely.** Confirm informed, voluntary consent and exact agreed terms. Do not use mediation where coercive control or an active protective order makes it unsafe.
8. **Complete procedure.** Draft parties, jurisdiction, facts, cause of action, grounds, prayers, verification, affidavit, annexure index, filing checklist and privacy or in-camera requests.

## Output

Produce an applicability and maintainability note, petition, synopsis and list of dates, interim applications where requested, evidence and annexure schedule, authority-verification table and filing-risk checklist.

## Guardrails

- Do not fabricate grounds, jurisdiction, service, consent, separation dates, affidavits or evidence.
- Do not threaten criminal, custody or immigration action to force a matrimonial settlement.
- Protect child identities, addresses, confidential records and intimate material; seek restricted filing where appropriate.
- Do not guarantee a decree or assume that one statute resolves every maintenance, custody or property issue.
- Require qualified Indian family counsel to verify law, court rules, limitation, format and filing.

# Settlement Deed Drafter

Record a voluntary, informed settlement without exceeding what the parties can lawfully bind. Treat child welfare, non-waivable rights and court approval as independent constraints.

## Required inputs

- Jurisdiction, relationship, proceedings and existing orders
- Parties, children, legal representatives and signing capacity
- Full agreed heads plus expressly unresolved issues
- Financial disclosure, assets, debts, income, tax and valuation material
- Child arrangements, support, education and specified direct costs
- Property title, possession, loans, security interests and transfer mechanics
- Claims, complaints, protective orders and implementation deadlines
- Safety, coercion, independent-advice and confidentiality concerns

Do not draft a final deed from headline terms if essential mechanics remain undecided.

## Method

1. **Confirm authority and consent.** Verify capacity, voluntariness, independent advice, disclosure, court-approval needs and whether direct negotiation is safe.
2. **Define scope and status.** State parties, background, proceedings, effective date, interim or final nature, admissions position and relationship to existing orders.
3. **Draft child terms.** Specify parenting time, contact, decisions, travel, information, support and review while preserving the court's welfare jurisdiction and the child's independent rights.
4. **Draft support terms.** State amount, commencement, method, indexation, duration, direct expenses, arrears, security, review and variation. Reconcile the calculation schedule.
5. **Draft property implementation.** Identify assets and debts exactly; allocate title, possession, income, costs, taxes, refinancing, releases, documents, third-party consents and long-stop dates.
6. **Address personal property and benefits.** Cover household items, valuables, insurance, pension, equity, business interests, digital assets and jurisdiction-specific property such as stridhan where applicable.
7. **Calibrate releases.** Define released claims and carve out child rights, enforcement, fraud, undisclosed assets and rights that cannot lawfully be waived.
8. **Close proceedings.** Specify petitions, consent orders, withdrawals, quashing or compounding steps only where lawful, costs, cooperation and sequencing.
9. **Plan default and change.** Include notices, cure, interest, indemnity where lawful, enforcement, review and dispute resolution without blocking urgent protective relief.
10. **Check execution.** Verify stamping, registration, notarisation, witnesses, counterparts, electronic signing and court-filing requirements.

## Output

## Guardrails

- Do not conceal assets, fabricate consent or use threats, coercion or unsafe joint meetings.

- Do not use confidentiality or non-disparagement clauses to suppress lawful safety reporting or reports of legally protected misconduct.
- Flag tax, pension, insolvency, property-title, immigration and cross-border enforcement issues.

name: succession-advisor
description: Maps Indian testamentary or intestate succession, heirs, estate shares and required process from verified family and asset facts. Use after a death to assess inheritance, wills, nominations, probate, succession certificates, administration or estate disputes.
---

# Succession Advisor

Determine the applicable succession regime before calculating shares. Separate estate ownership, beneficial entitlement, nomination, survivorship and administration throughout.

## Required inputs

- Death certificate, date and place of death
- Domicile, residence, citizenship and personal-law facts
- Marriage or partnership history and a documented family tree
- Will, codicils, revocations, execution details and prior probate filings
- Asset and debt inventory with location, title, acquisition and beneficiary designations
- Joint, ancestral, coparcenary, HUF, trust, partnership and company interests
- Lifetime gifts, family settlements, nominations and disputed transfers
- Potential dependants, creditors, tax issues and pending litigation

## Method

1. **Select the governing regime.** Test the Indian Succession Act, 1925, Hindu Succession Act, 1956, Muslim personal law, Special Marriage Act consequences, other personal law, customary law and foreign conflict rules. Use the death date and verify amendments, State variations and controlling authority.
2. **Classify testamentary status.** Determine whether the estate is wholly or partly testate or intestate. Assess the will's capacity, knowledge and approval, execution, attestation, revocation and suspicious circumstances without declaring validity on incomplete evidence.
3. **Build the family tree.** Verify births, deaths, marriages, adoptions and lineage from records. Mark disputed kinship and simultaneous or uncertain deaths.
4. **Build the estate inventory.** Separate solely owned property, the deceased's share in joint or family property, trust assets, nominations, insurance, retirement benefits, debts and assets outside India.
5. **Identify heirs and shares.** Apply the correct class, branch, representation, survivorship and exclusion rules. Show exact fractions, assumptions and alternate scenarios.
6. **Distinguish nomination.** Determine whether a nominee receives beneficial title or collects for the estate under the asset-specific statute; do not assume nomination overrides succession.
7. **Map administration.** Identify probate, letters of administration, succession certificate, mutation, transmission, inventory, creditor notice, tax and foreign resealing or recognition steps.
8. **Assess disputes.** Flag caveat, capacity, undue influence, forgery, omitted heir, title, partition, limitation and fiduciary issues with evidence needed.
9. **Plan distribution.** Pay or reserve valid liabilities and expenses before distributing; identify consents, indemnities, minor shares and court permissions.

## Output

Produce an applicability memo, verified family tree, estate and title schedule, heir-and-share table with scenarios, will-validity issue list, administration roadmap, document checklist and dispute-risk register.

## Guardrails

- Do not fabricate kinship, testamentary intent, signatures, attestation or domicile.
- Do not advise self-help possession, asset concealment, premature distribution or exclusion of a potential heir without process.
- Protect identities, financial data and minor or vulnerable beneficiary information.
- Distinguish a preliminary share model from a court determination or title opinion.
- Require Indian succession, tax and foreign-jurisdiction specialists where the estate demands it.

name: will-drafter
description: Drafts jurisdiction-specific wills with clear gifts, fiduciary powers, residue and execution safeguards. Use for a new will, codicil or restatement, estate-planning instructions, executor and guardian appointments, or an execution and storage plan.

# Will Drafter

Translate independent testamentary instructions into an internally coherent will. Treat capacity, undue influence, ownership and execution as separate validity risks.

## Required inputs

- Testator identity, age, domicile, residence, citizenship and family circumstances
- Marriage history, dependants, children and vulnerable beneficiaries
- Asset and liability inventory with ownership, location and beneficiary designations
- Prior wills, codicils, trusts, gifts, nominations and succession agreements
- Specific gifts, residue, substitutes, conditions and survivorship preferences
- Executor, trustee, guardian and alternate appointments
- Business, digital asset, pet, funeral and charitable wishes
- Relevant tax, forced-heirship, family-provision and personal-law constraints

Obtain instructions directly from the testator where possible and record who is present.

## Method

1. **Fix governing law.** Verify testamentary capacity, form, permitted dispositions, family-provision or forced-share rules, revocation, witnesses, registration and conflict-of-laws requirements.
2. **Assess capacity and influence.** Record understanding of the document, estate, beneficiaries and consequences. Escalate concerns about decision-making, dependency, coercion, interpreters or beneficiary involvement.
3. **Map ownership.** Identify what the testator can dispose of, including shares in joint, marital, community, family, trust or business property. Reconcile nominations and survivorship arrangements.
4. **Design dispositions.** Draft specific, pecuniary and charitable gifts, substitutions, survivorship periods, residue and failure-of-gift rules. Avoid gaps that create unintended partial intestacy.
5. **Protect beneficiaries.** Use age-based, education, maintenance, protective or discretionary trusts only with clear trustees, vesting, powers and remainder provisions. Address guardian wishes without overstating binding effect.
6. **Appoint fiduciaries.** Name executors, trustees and alternates; address conflicts, bond, compensation, resignation, replacement and administrative powers under local law.
7. **Allocate liabilities.** Address debts, taxes, expenses, secured property, business obligations and apportionment without promising an unavailable tax outcome.
8. **Draft revocation and interpretation.** Revoke prior wills to the intended extent, define key terms, handle later-born or omitted persons and resolve conflicts across clauses.
9. **Plan execution.** Specify signature, attestation, presence, witness eligibility, notarisation or registration, interpreter and capacity evidence. Prepare a ceremony checklist and execution memorandum.
10. **Plan custody and review.** Record safe storage, copy control, executor notification and review triggers such as marriage, divorce, birth, death, relocation or major asset change.

## Output

Produce a clean will or codicil, instruction and assumptions memo, asset-to-clause map, validity-risk note, execution checklist and memorandum, storage guidance and review schedule.

## Guardrails

- Do not assist coercion, forgery, sham ownership, concealment from lawful claims or evasion of non-waivable rights.
- Do not let a beneficiary supply dispositive instructions without independent confirmation from the testator.
- Do not promise that notarisation, registration or a self-proving form cures capacity, influence or ownership defects.
- Protect testamentary confidentiality while documenting necessary validity evidence.
- Require qualified local estate counsel and tax advice before execution.
