1 FLORIDA LEGAL FORMS Volume 3 REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS By JAMES W. MARTIN Member of the Florida Bar St. Petersburg, Florida Sections ST. PAUL, MINN. WEST PUBLISHING CO. 1990

2 PREFACE AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT COPYRIGHT 1990 By WEST PUBLISHING CO. Ubrary of Congress Catalog Card Number: These volumes have been prepared to assist lawyers and their staffs in preparing legal documents for real estate transactions by the use of example forms used in other transactions. In additfon to document forms, the book contains procedures which, through the use of checklists and worksheets, assist the lawyer and staff in the production of documents for clients. These are the forms that are generally required in Florida for real estate transactions. No form should be used and no procedure should be followed unless the lawyer understands it and decides that it applies to his or her practice and to the facts in the particular case. Each lawyer's practice differs in some respects, and all transactions differ, so the lawyer should plan to make changes to these forms and procedures accordingly. Every real estate transaction involves one or more federal, state and local tax questions. There are always issues concerning income, gift, estate, property, excise, documentary, intangible, sales and other taxes arising from real estate transactions. These tax matters are outside the scope of this work. Each person using this book should consider the tax consequences of each form in this book on his or her own or by obtaining tax advice from a tax attorney, tax accountant or other tax professional. The author thanks his family and publisher for their understanding and assistance. The author thanks his associate Katy Prats for her help with the landlord and tenant forms. October, 1990 JAMES W. MARTIN St. Petersburg, Florida * 3 Flalegal Forms-Real Estate Transactions ill
