Is the following statement true? If so it seems very unfair to take away an individual's right to handle their own legal matters.

"You've Got To Hire An Attorney - It's The Law. Reviewing assets, preparing a revocable Florida living trust for inheritance matters, and entering into a legal service contract requires that the preparer be a Florida State bar certified attorney. Any other situation constitutes illegal practice of law within Florida, and is punishable. Your Florida estate attorney has a multi-part role ...he or she will identify all your assets, make sure that they legally transfer into your inter vivos revocable Florida living trust."

Then I must assume private rental agreements done between 2 individuals for seasonal property rentals are not legal unless they are written by a lawyer.
