What this hub covers

A seller’s property disclosure form is the document by which a seller discloses known material conditions affecting the property. State law mandates specific disclosures, and failure to disclose known material defects can give rise to fraud claims, rescission, damages, and attorney fees — even after closing.

Why state-specific matters

Disclosure requirements vary dramatically by state. California requires a Transfer Disclosure Statement; Texas requires a Seller’s Disclosure of Property Condition; some states have no statutory mandate (caveat emptor) and rely on common-law fraud rules. State-specific templates reflect the local statutory requirements.
