Seller’s Disclosure Obligations Explained: Trustees and Exemptions

For the third exclusion to apply under Section 1 of OREF 020 – Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement, the seller must be a court-appointed trustee. The trustee of a family or living trust is not appointed by a court, and therefore not exempt from providing the Disclosure Statement.

All comments and responses from OREF or its staff, managers, and volunteers are non-legal opinions made for general purposes. Each Forms subscriber must rely solely upon their Principal broker or personal legal counsel for specific advice and instruction. You and your client should independently confirm that the Form(s) you use are legally suitable for the purposes intended and that they are current with respect to all laws and regulations.
