Understanding the OREF 020 Exemption for Court-Appointed Sellers

If a person passes away and another individual is appointed by the court to sell their real property, that individual qualifies for the exemption in Section 1, line 19 of OREF 020 – Seller’s Property Disclosure Statement and is not required to complete the disclosure. This exemption applies even if the deceased held the property in a living trust. 

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.
