First-draft affidavits that follow the rules.

Quillio drafts affidavits in the form required by the UCPR, Family Law Rules, and equivalent state rules — structured by paragraph, grounded in the source documents, and ready for deponent review.

In short

Quillio drafts affidavits from source material — client statements, file notes, correspondence, and exhibits — in the paragraph-numbered structure AU courts require. I follow the rules that apply to your jurisdiction (UCPR Part 35, Federal Court Rules, Family Law Rules 2021) and produce a first draft ready for your review and the deponent's sign-off. I do not invent facts; every paragraph is grounded in the material you give me.

Before & after

What changes

Without Quillio

Drafting a 40-paragraph affidavit in support of an interlocutory application takes 3-4 hours — interviewing the client, structuring the facts chronologically, pulling exhibits, and formatting to the rules.

With Quillio

Quillio produces a first-draft affidavit in 5 minutes, with paragraphs numbered, exhibits annexed and referenced, and the structure matching your jurisdiction's rules. You spend your time on the strategic paragraphs that need judgment.

How it works

From upload to output

1

Give me the source material

Upload the client statement, file notes, emails, and any exhibits. Tell me the jurisdiction, the application the affidavit supports, and who the deponent is.

2

I structure the facts

I organise the facts chronologically, in first-person voice, numbered by paragraph. I mark every factual assertion against its source so you can verify.

3

I reference exhibits properly

I annex exhibits using the jurisdiction's convention (Annexure A, Exhibit ABC-1) and reference them inline. The exhibit index is built automatically.

4

I comply with form requirements

I follow the form rules for your court — UCPR Form 40, Family Law Form 17, Federal Court Form 59 — including the jurat and the deponent's declaration.

5

You review with the deponent

Export to Word. Review with the deponent, amend where they correct the facts, and swear or affirm in the usual way.

Walkthrough

A real example

Scenario

You act for the applicant in an urgent NSW Supreme Court interlocutory application for an injunction. You have a client statement, a bundle of emails, and two prior letters of demand. The affidavit needs to be in UCPR form, filed by 4pm.

Inputs

Upload the client statement, email bundle, and letters of demand. Tell Quillio the jurisdiction (NSW Supreme Court) and the relief sought (injunction under UCPR r 25.2).

Quillio output

In 6 minutes: a 32-paragraph first-draft affidavit in UCPR Form 40, with 8 annexed exhibits, cross-referenced inline, in the applicant's first-person voice. Every factual paragraph is tagged against its source document so you can verify before the deponent swears.

Questions

AI Affidavit Drafting FAQs

Will Quillio's affidavits comply with court form rules?

Yes. I follow the form requirements for each jurisdiction — UCPR Form 40 (NSW), FCR Form 59, Family Law Form 17, and equivalents — including the jurat, paragraph numbering, and exhibit conventions. I do not currently cover every specialist tribunal form; check the output against your specific rules.

Does Quillio invent facts or make things up?

No. I draft only from the source material you give me. Every paragraph is tagged against its source so you can verify before the deponent swears. If a fact you want in the affidavit is not in the source material, I flag it as needing client confirmation rather than inventing it.

Can Quillio draft in the deponent's first-person voice?

Yes. Affidavits are drafted in first-person ("I", "me", "my") consistent with the deponent. I match the register to the deponent — a plain-English style for a lay witness, a technical register for an expert.

How are exhibits handled?

I annex exhibits using the court's convention (Annexure A, Exhibit ABC-1) and reference them inline. The exhibit index builds automatically. For urgent filings you can have the exhibits compiled into a single PDF or kept separate.

Can I use this for family law parenting affidavits?

Yes. I follow Family Law Rules 2021 Form 17 structure, cover the s 60CC considerations where relevant, and draft in a way that does not put submissions in the deponent's mouth.

What about sensitive or privileged material?

I respect privilege. If you mark a document as privileged, I will not draw facts from it into the affidavit. Quillio runs on Australian infrastructure under SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001; your matter data stays in Australia and is never used to train any model.

Does the deponent still need to review and swear?

Yes, always. Quillio produces a first draft; the deponent must review it, correct any facts that are not right, and swear or affirm in the usual way before a qualified witness. The duty is unchanged.
