A seller of a 1955 home told the broker that pipe insulation in the basement likely contained asbestos. The broker asked whether federal law, by itself, requires a nationwide asbestos disclosure form in every residential sale. Which answer is most accurate?

Correct Answer

D) No general federal seller disclosure rule applies, although state or local law may impose separate duties

Federal law does not create a universal nationwide asbestos seller-disclosure form for every residential sale. Separate state or local disclosure duties may exist, but those are not the same as a general federal residential disclosure rule.

Answer Options
A
Yes, federal law requires every seller to attach an asbestos disclosure form to every residential contract
B
Yes, but only when the buyer uses a conventional mortgage instead of a government-backed loan
C
No, because asbestos is federally banned in all residential structures built before 1980
D
No general federal seller disclosure rule applies, although state or local law may impose separate duties
