Maryland licensees may use pre-approved or attorney-drafted forms in the course of their duties.
However, they may not draft legal documents or interpret legal implications, as doing so constitutes unauthorized practice of law.
The Maryland Real Estate Commission (MREC) allows licensees to fill in the blanks of standard forms approved by the Maryland Association of REALTORS® (MAR) or by legal counsel, but all legal interpretations must be referred to an attorney.
