Notice of Form Revisions

Use of withdrawn or expired forms is in violation of the copyright. It is a violation of the Missouri law to use forms for which the approval has been withdrawn. The association will not defend the use of withdrawn or expired forms. Generally E&O insurance policies require the use of current approved forms.

The following were either revised or created for our 2021 Forms Library:

  1. The following forms were updated in April to replace term “handicap” with “disability” as an inappropriate reference to protected classes. The valid version date is now 04/21; version dated 01/20 expires 12/31/21:

    • Form #2047 Listing Contract – line 11
    • Form #2142 Auth. To Show Buyer’s Agent – line 76
    • Form #2142tb Auth. To Show Transaction Broker – line 37
    • Form #2125 Buyer’s Agency Agreement – line 12

  2. REVISED Paragraph 5 Closing and Possession-2043 Special Sale & 2090 Residential Sale Contracts Version 07/21 Valid; Version 01/20 expires 12/31/21:
    The contract defines the “Closing” as the exchange of the Seller’s deed for total purchase price. There are instances when the Seller does not receive their proceeds on the day of closing due to the late time in which their title company sent the wire or due to normal built-in delays with the Federal Reserve wiring process. In these cases, the Seller could feel that Closing has not occurred and may want the buyer possession delayed until they have received their proceeds. The seller could go to the title company to pick up their proceeds but in some cases request a wire instead. These revisions eliminate the argument and specifies a reasonable solution to last-minute disputes.


  3. Form #2185b-Notice of Intended Sale (no version date):

    The prior form was not accepted by the County because it was not formatted correctly to include a space for the notary information.

  4. Form #2039 EPA Brochure- Protect Your Family from Lead:

    March 2021 this form was updated by the EPA.
