Legal Home Forms to Offer Downloadable Real Estate Forms

LegalHomeForms has been online since 2003, and they offer instant access to the most used real estate forms and contracts.

When buying, selling or renting a property, different legal forms have to be used. Each form has its own legal implications and homeowners should know what forms to use during a transaction. This is to ensure that all parties are protected by law when a dispute arises.

There are over 60 forms included in the package. All forms are created by former licensed real estate agents to ensure that the forms are legally valid.

Different states have different real estate laws and the appropriate forms must be used. State specific real estate forms will help prevent unnecessary legal hassles down the road. Popular state forms include Alabama, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, Texas, and Wisconsin.

"This is important because we realize that sometimes homeowners may not be aware that they are using forms that may not be valid in the eyes of the court," said the founder of the website. "When a dispute arises, everyone depends on the legal document to settle the dispute. When one is not available, or if a document is nullified due to invalidity, then one party may be at the losing end."

Among these documents, one of the most commonly used form is the quit claim deed. This document is mainly used to transfer property rights to another person such as a family member.

When a quit claim deed is executed, all rights and liabilities will be transferred over to another person. However, homeowners must note that the quit claim deed does not free the owner of the home mortgage. Refinancing must be separately arranged so that the home loan can be transferred to the new homeowner. A sample quit claim deed is available on the official website.

Another commonly seen form is the real estate purchase agreement. This is a 4 page agreement between the seller and the buyer. The role of this agreement is to ensure that both parties will undertake all responsibilities so that the sale go through smoothly. Details about the current condition of the house is recorded in this document.

The agreement is considered valid once both buyer and sell signs on the document. Usually, a deposit from the buyer is required. The deposit will act as proof that the buyer is indeed serious about purchasing the property.

If the actual condition of the house is not found to be congruent with the details in the agreement, or if repairs that are supposed to be done by the homeowner has not been completed, the buyer can refuse to buy the home. In this case, the deposit will be returned in full or in part to the buyer.

The website includes detailed instructions on how to use and fill up the forms. Individual forms can be bought at the affordable price of $6.97, while the entire package cost just $14.99.
