A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain deeds as legal instruments, relay their formalities and uses in property and other law in general terms, describe the extended sense of official documents listed in the registry, and route personal legal questions to lawyers.

What it is for: Transferring rights and evidencing obligations.

It can be explain the instrument and formalities; relay property and other uses; describe extended senses; route personal questions.
