III. TIPS ON COMPLETING THE FORMS

The form(s) in this packet may contain "form fields” created using Microsoft Word or Adobe Acrobat (".pdf" format). "Form fields" facilitate completion of the forms using your computer. They do not limit your ability to print the form “in blank” and complete with a typewriter or by hand.

It is also helpful to be able to see the location of the form fields. Go to the View menu, click on Toolbars, and then select Forms. This will open the Forms toolbar. Look for the button on the Forms toolbar that resembles a shaded letter "a". Click this button and the form fields will be visible.

By clicking on the appropriate form field, you will be able to enter the needed information. In some instances, the form field and the line will disappear after information is entered. In other cases, it will not. The form was created to function in this manner.

Some of the forms, particularly the Demolition Contract, may not be locked for editing in order for you to modify the content to suit your individual situation. By locking the forms, using the padlock symbol on your control bar in Word, you will be able to move from one form field to the next simply by using your tab key.

Practical Steps to Reduce Errors and Delays

Practical suggestions to reduce errors, improve acceptance, and maintain compliance when using Minnesota State Bar Association forms across practice areas.

Verify jurisdiction and rules
Before customizing, confirm Minnesota statutes, local court rules, and MSBA notes. Adjust citation formats, filing addresses, and any page limits to avoid rejection and minimize clerk follow‑up.
Use exact legal names and TINs
Capture party legal names and taxpayer identification numbers precisely. For tax reporting and W-9s, errors can trigger 24% backup withholding and IRS penalties under IRC §6721.
Document authentication steps
Record who signed, how they authenticated, IP addresses, and timestamps. A complete audit trail supports ESIGN/UETA compliance and is critical in disputes over attribution.
Maintain secure retention
Encrypt stored forms (AES-256), restrict access, and follow retention timelines. For HIPAA-covered records, keep copies six years per 45 CFR §164.530(j) and enable export for litigation holds.
