Under Wisconsin's WB-11 Residential Offer to Purchase, which of the following items is typically classified as a fixture and presumed to be included in the sale unless specifically excluded?

Correct Answer

C) A ceiling fan permanently wired into the home's electrical system

A ceiling fan that is permanently wired into the home's electrical system meets the legal test for a fixture: it is permanently attached to the real property and removing it would damage the structure. Under Wisconsin's WB-11 form, fixtures are presumed to be included in the sale unless specifically excluded. A permanently wired ceiling fan is clearly a fixture.

Answer Options
A
A freestanding refrigerator plugged into a standard wall outlet
B
A window air conditioning unit resting in a window frame
C
A ceiling fan permanently wired into the home's electrical system
D
A portable dishwasher connected by a hose to the kitchen faucet
