Things You'll Need:
- Computer with Microsoft Word
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.
-
Step 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.

on 11/6/2009 Great tips on the basics of writing a contract agreement. As you pointed out, including ALL of the terms of the agreement is essential. If you leave something out, it isn't covered under the contract. I have always included an arbitration agreement as part of the terms in my business contracts. Nice job and very helpful information.
