Happy Halloween! We wanted to take a minute to have a little Halloween FUN and answer a question that believe it or not, we do get asked more than you might would think! Do you as a seller of a home have to disclose if there is a death on the property? The answer: It depends!
We cannot answer for all states, as this may be different from state to state, however, to answer your question, we have to ask some of our own!
Was this death by natural causes like a heart attack, or even a suicide or an accident that is unrelated to the condition of the home? If so, then you, nor your agent has to disclose this death.
However, if the death that occurred on the property was not caused by natural causes, such as a murder, yes. You do have to disclose that. Truth be told, the neighbors will tell them anyways, so you may as well be forthcoming!
