Preparing Legal Documents

Real estate brokers may prepare listing agreements, sale contracts, option contracts, and lease agreements (on the Supreme Court-approved form) in the course of their business.

Real estate licensees should recommend to a buyer or seller to have an attorney draw an option contract or, to reduce liability, licensees should use standardized option contract forms.

If an advertisement states that, for a fee, a licensee would complete or review contracts for persons not buying through the licensee, that licensee would be practicing law.

Licensees should not prepare legal documents such as deeds, mortgages, and promissory notes. Activities of this nature may result in charges of practicing law, leading to disciplinary action and liability for damages in a civil suit.
