## FAQs
### Can the AI read handwritten wills?

Yes. Photo or scan is enough — the AI uses OCR + language model for handwriting. Illegible passages are flagged; final interpretation remains a lawyer's task.

### Are gifts captured for forced-share supplements?

Yes. The AI structurally queries gifts of the past 10 years (§2325 BGB), calculates annual decrement and integrates into the forced-share claim.
