Fillable Form Purchase Agreement

What is a Purchase Agreement?

A Purchase Agreement is a legal and financial document used to finalize the terms and conditions of the sale of a particular item or property, and represents the culmination of negotiations between the buyer and the seller.

Generally speaking, Purchase Agreements are used for transactions concerning items and property with high prices, such as $500. However, the agreements can still be used for smaller transactions, and in a wide variety of industries (most commonly real estate).

A Purchase Agreement also serves as a document that records the transaction, and must be signed by both buyer and seller before ownership of the property is transferred and the payment is finalized.

Who needs to use a Purchase Agreement?

When a particular item or property is put out for sale, and a buyer indicates that they wish to purchase that item or property, a Purchase Agreement Template is generally used by both buyer and seller to not only negotiate the price of the item or property (whenever possible) but to set any terms and conditions surrounding the sale, method of payment, and any other conditions that may need to be set.

Tips when filling out a Purchase Agreement

The Purchase Agreement PDF is a very simple form to fill out. However, as it is a legal agreement as well as a financial document, it is important to make sure that all information entered in the form is not only correct and updated, but also that all parties involved (both the Borrower and the Lender) agree to all the terms outlined in the Note. This will help to ensure that no legal issues arise from accidental breaches of the agreement.

Seek a Notary. While not required, it may be beneficial to seek the services of a notary to have the Promissory Note notarized, and to ensure that both parties are aware of the terms they are agreeing to.

Seek legal advice. It may also be beneficial to seek legal advice regarding the terms outlined in the Promissory Note. While Notaries may be legal professionals, their function is to prevent fraud, not provide legal advice. Consider seeking the services of a lawyer or other legal professional to make sure that the terms are valid and sensible.

Practice good contract management. Create a copy of the filled and signed Promissory Note and keep it in a safe and organized area. This will be useful for any possible legal purposes in the future, or simply as a backup in the event that something should happen to the original copy or copies.
