Explanations

• In the interpretation of real estate contracts, written parts take precedence over the printed parts. This means that any handwritten or specifically typed additions to a preprinted form will override conflicting preprinted clauses.
• Any handwritten portion of a contract is considered more reliable than a pre-printed portion, especially if future disputes arise between the parties.
• Similarly, if later-drafted conditions (like those in an addendum) conflict with standard printed terms, the addendum’s conditions typically take precedence.
