If a buyer wants to include a clause concerning fantastical creatures in a South Dakota sales contract, who can prepare this clause?

In real estate transactions, particularly when it comes to contract law, it's essential to understand the roles and limitations of various professionals involved. A licensed attorney is qualified to draft, modify, and interpret legal documents, including sales contracts. If a buyer wishes to include a specific clause about fantastical creatures—an unusual request that may require detailed legal language and implications—it's imperative that this clause be crafted by someone with the expertise to ensure it is enforceable and correctly integrated into the contract.

While a salesperson or broker can facilitate the sale and help with standard clauses in a contract, they are not authorized to provide legal advice or draft special legal clauses. The buyer could technically attempt to draft such a clause themselves, yet without legal training, they may unintentionally create ambiguity or be unaware of the legal ramifications. Therefore, involving a licensed attorney is crucial to ensure that any unique stipulations are legally sound and protect the buyer’s interests effectively.
