Informational Purpose Only — Not Professional Advice

This site is for informational and general reference purposes only. Nothing on this site constitutes legal, financial, tax, investment, real estate, or relocation advice.

State tax rates, laws, regulations, and policies change frequently. Data presented on this site may be outdated, incomplete, or inaccurate. We make no representations or warranties about the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information.

Before making any relocation, financial, tax, or legal decisions, you must consult a qualified licensed professional — including a licensed attorney, CPA, financial advisor, or real estate professional — who can evaluate your specific circumstances.

Use of Artificial Intelligence

Live or Die Here uses artificial intelligence extensively. You should understand how:

  • Blog content: Articles on this site are written by AI (Claude, developed by Anthropic, Inc.) under AI-generated editorial personas. This is disclosed on article pages. Content is reviewed for factual plausibility but is not independently fact-checked by a human editor before publication. Treat all blog content as AI-generated reference material, not authoritative reporting.
  • Compass AI assistant: The Compass feature is powered by Claude (Anthropic). Responses are AI-generated and may contain errors, hallucinations, or outdated information. Compass responses are not professional advice of any kind.
  • Search AI: The search bar AI fallback interprets natural language queries using Claude. Responses are generated in real time and may be incorrect.
  • Automated agents: Content generation, data monitoring, and knowledge updates may be performed by automated AI systems without human review of every output.

Do not enter personally identifiable information into AI features. See our Privacy Policy for details on AI data handling. Use general or hypothetical figures when querying AI features.

AI outputs are provided "as is" with no warranty of accuracy. We are not liable for decisions made based on AI-generated content.
