PROPERTY IDENTIFICATION
Clearly identify the real estate being sold with dedicated areas for:
• Property Address

Accurate property identification is particularly important in real estate transactions, so buyers should verify all property information before completing the agreement.
TAXES & INSURANCE
Clearly establish which party will be responsible for important property-related expenses during the installment period.
The agreement provides terms addressing property taxes and hazard insurance while the buyer is making payments.
Customize these provisions to reflect the actual arrangement between the buyer and seller.
DEFAULT, LATE FEES & ACCELERATION
Document what happens if required payments are not made according to the agreement.
The template includes provisions addressing late fees, default, acceleration of the unpaid balance, and potential termination of the agreement.
Because default remedies and forfeiture rights involving land contracts can be heavily regulated, these provisions should be reviewed for the state where the property is located before use.

Establish how ownership will be transferred after the buyer completes the required payments.
The agreement includes provisions for delivery of a Warranty Deed or Quitclaim Deed following final payment, depending on the terms selected by the parties.
PROPERTY CONDITION

Customize these terms according to the property, transaction, applicable disclosures, and agreement between the buyer and seller.
