Use your own clause language

Use Drafting defaults to save the firm's preferred terminology, distribution patterns, fiduciary powers, engagement text, and formatting choices. These defaults become the starting point for new matters; a matter-specific choice still controls when the two differ.

Review every custom clause in context before delivery. A clause that works in one document or jurisdiction may conflict with another provision, a mandatory statutory form, or the client's facts. Estateur's validation still runs after customization and blocks unresolved placeholders and hard-rule conflicts.

For language that changes legal effect, record why the firm uses it and who approved it. That makes future maintenance possible when a rule changes.
