Forms-on-CD FAQs


Q:
Can I fill out the forms on any PC computer?
A:
Yes! Or you can print and use them just as you would any preprinted form.
 
Q:
Are all first tuesday forms legally up-to-date?
A:
Yes! Each form fully complies with all California regulations, codes, case law, and professional practice. We are private researchers and writers, not a trade union or government agency. We produce the highest quality content available.
 
Q:
How often do you update forms?
A:
Whenever legislative or regulatory changes occur or practical needs arise within the real estate industry. Enrolled Students and purchasers of Forms-on-CD Version 4.2 can check for free updates by clicking the New and Updated Forms link within their Enrolled Student Services Homepage.
 
Q:
Is there a charge for updates?
A:
No! Updates are free to download for Enrolled Students during their one-year enrollment period, and free for one year after purchase for purchasers of Forms-on-CD Version 4.2.
 
Q:
Which government agency or trade union approves forms?
A:
No one approves forms; not the State Bar, the DRE, or CAR. Each publisher is responsible for its own forms. All published disclosure forms are either: 1) mandated for use by dictate of the state legislature, such as the Agency Law Disclosure – Disclosure Regarding Real Estate Agency Relationships [ft Form 305], Condition of Property Disclosure – Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) [ft Form 304] and the Natural Hazard Disclosure Statement [ft Form 314], or 2) generic forms, such as net sheets, costs sheets, etc. Each disclosure form mandated by the legislature or by the Department of Real Estate (DRE) must have the same content – no matter who publishes it.
 
Q:
Is it true my broker has to use CAR forms?
A:
No! A broker may use any form he chooses. Other brokers, associations, and the MLS may not and do not require a broker to use a particular form. However, many brokers erroneously believe they must use forms published by their trade union.
 
Q:
If my broker says I must use the CAR purchase agreement, how can I use first tuesday forms?
A:
Use the CAR form required by your broker and build the rest of your listing package from our CD. For your listing package or acceptance package, use first tuesday forms. They provide better protection for your fee.
 
Q: Does Forms-on-CD Version 4.2 work on Mac?
A: No! Forms-on-CD is available only for Windows© 2000/XP/Vista operating systems.
 
Q: What are the minimum system requirements?
A: A 500 MHz or faster processor running Windows© 2000/XP/Vista; Pentium II or higher processor with 256 MB RAM; 550 MB of available hard-disk space; and a CD-ROM or DVD drive.
 
Q: Can I alter the forms?
A:

No! You cannot add or delete provisions. You can edit data you’ve entered onto the form, or attach our Addendum – General Use [ft Form 205] and note the deletion or addition of a provision on the addendum. However, you can alter the Investment Circular – LLC [ft Form 371-1], Operating Agreement – LLC [ft Form 372-1], and Subscription and Agreement to Invest – LLC [ft Form 373-1] using Microsoft Word.
