This software has the flexibility to let you quickly create the Certificate of Incumbency you want. It does this by providing many options with appropriate defaults.

One common default is 'Do Not Specify'. This default means that the finished agreement will not have a clause dealing with that topic. The benefit of not specifying is that you get a shorter and simpler document; however, the document will be less precise. Also, in some cases, the issue may not even be applicable. For example, if you do not want to specify whether utilities are included in the rent, then it is appropriate to pick 'Do Not Specify' for the answer to this question.
