Darrell Hickman, Justice, concurring. I agree with the result only because I feel bound by this court’s decision in Creekmore v. Izard, 236 Ark. 558, 367 S.W. 2d 419 (1963). While I disagree with that decision it has been the law in Arkansas for over twenty years, and has been relied upon by laymen and lawyers alike. Creekmore should not be extended at all. Even so, realtors should be aware that their negligence in preparing such legal documents may well be examined by applying a standard of care expected of attorneys. They sought and gained the right “to practice law.” With that convenience goes a heavy responsibility to the public.
