The Rule
PSI publishes 16, 21, and 15 items for the three Georgia groups. It does not publish a guaranteed subtopic count. The statute, current GREC rule, contract, or other cited primary authority controls each lesson.
Complete lesson
Read these concepts as one Georgia decision system. A plausible national rule can still be the wrong answer when the stem supplies a Georgia statute, instrument, role, or procedure.
Authorized forms
The statute protects completion of specified forms under its conditions; it does not turn a real estate license into a law license.
Factual explanation
A licensee may explain business terms and known facts within competence while avoiding conclusions about legal effect or enforceability.
Attorney referral
Questions about title, legal rights, custom clauses, remedies, or disputed interpretation should go to a Georgia lawyer.
Closing boundary
Georgia treats conveyancing and real estate closing as legal work. The lawyer must control the closing, not merely appear as a witness for a process run by others.
Decision rule
Georgia rule and national contrast
Worked Georgia example
Scenario. A buyer asks a salesperson to draft a clause guaranteeing the right to cancel if a future zoning change reduces value.
Reason it through. The request needs custom legal drafting and analysis beyond ordinary form completion. The licensee may document the concern and recommend counsel but should not invent the clause.
Answer. Refer the buyer to a Georgia attorney for the provision.
Common exam traps
- Calling every explanation legal advice
- Treating every blank form as safe to alter
- Giving a title opinion
- Using an attorney as a witness-only closer
Original practice questions with detailed explanations
These are original instructional questions mapped to the July 1, 2026 PSI outline. They are not copied from PSI or a live examination. Choose an answer before opening the explanation.
Question 1Which statement best states the Georgia rule for Georgia Practice Boundaries and Unauthorized Practice of Law?
- A. A real estate license authorizes any contract drafting requested by a client.
- B. Separate factual information and authorized form completion from legal advice, custom drafting, title opinions, and closing conduct.
- C. A Georgia closing may be run entirely by a nonlawyer if an attorney watches briefly.
- D. Referring a legal question to counsel violates the broker's duty to assist.

Answer: B. Separate factual information and authorized form completion from legal advice, custom drafting, title opinions, and closing conduct.
The correct choice states the controlling rule. The other choices either remove a required element, replace Georgia authority with a generic assumption, or expand an exception beyond the cited source.
Question 2A buyer asks a salesperson to draft a clause guaranteeing the right to cancel if a future zoning change reduces value.
- A. Ignore the Georgia-specific fact because good intentions control.
- B. Apply the nearest national rule without checking Georgia authority.
- C. Refer the buyer to a Georgia attorney for the provision.
- D. Let the participant with the strongest preference decide without following the required process.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: C. Refer the buyer to a Georgia attorney for the provision.
The request needs custom legal drafting and analysis beyond ordinary form completion. The licensee may document the concern and recommend counsel but should not invent the clause. The correct option follows that reasoning. The distractors ignore the controlling Georgia source, substitute intent for procedure, or give decision-making authority to the wrong person.
Question 3When solving Georgia Practice Boundaries and Unauthorized Practice of Law, what should a candidate identify first?
- A. The answer choice that sounds most ethical, without classifying the actor or document.
- B. One familiar deadline, applied to every Georgia transaction regardless of the source.
- C. A national default, even when the stem identifies a Georgia statute or GREC rule.
- D. Ask whether the requested act needs legal judgment or creates legal language. If it does, stop and refer rather than improvise.
Show answer and explanation →
Answer: D. Ask whether the requested act needs legal judgment or creates legal language. If it does, stop and refer rather than improvise.
The decision rule identifies the facts that control this topic. The other choices reward tone, a memorized number, or a national default while skipping the Georgia actor, document, authority, or procedure.
