Court and Authority Forms Outside Illinois and California
If Smokeball does not have the most commonly used real estate forms for jurisdictions outside of Illinois, such as title company forms, municipality forms, or other transfer tax forms, please send them to us and we'll work on adding them to the form library.
This article focuses on important Real Estate forms found in the Illinois Forms and Templates Library.
Below are some highlights of MUST USE forms already available for you to use and where to find them in the Forms and Templates library:

Did You Know
- The best practice is to create a shortcut for commonly used court & authority forms
- If you are ever prompted to update a form, always select "use author's updates." If you have made personal modifications or changes in automation to the form, using the "author's update" will override any changes you have manually made to the document.
- If you do not see the proper forms, make sure you are subscribed to the appropriate Form Suites in your Smokeball settings.
