How to Write a Basic Contract Agreement

Writing

Writing a contract is a basic piece of equipment that is required to complete a business transaction. This can be a simple bill of sale to a land-sale contract for a home.

Things You'll Need

• Computer with Microsoft Word

Instructions

1. To begin writing a basic contract you should have the names of all parties involved. This would mean for example the buyer and seller. Compile all of the information available about the "property" or service you are basing the contract on.

2. Using a Microsoft word type program, start by stating the names, the date, and the property or service to be render. The body of the contract should have the "terms". This is to be stated clearly, and no changes may be made that are not initialed by BOTH parties. Any changes after the contract is signed causes it become null and void if not acknowledged by both parties.

3. To help make the contact official, have the signatures notarized. This will place a seal on the contact and show that you were both present and in agreement.

Tips & Warnings

• Never change the contract after everyone has signed it unless everyone involved initials the changes.

• Consult an attorney with any questions.
