Here in CA the disclosure packets that I've seen all included the FEMA map and you had to initial it. The risk of failing to disclose something is way too high.

Here in CA the disclosure packets that I've seen all included the FEMA map and you had to initial it. The risk of failing to disclose something is way too high. I've even seen a lot of things like "while we think there's no asbestos there could always be in a house that old", which obviously then makes the whole thing useless.

My aunt and my mom both died in the same year. When selling their houses for their estates the realtors both said "you can skip the disclosure part" because I didn't own the house myself. I did happen to know that my mom had had asbestos removed from the kitchen in her 1972 home. It was required when she remodeled. But I had never been to my aunt's home (1000 miles away) until she had died. It was built the same year and I bet it did have asbestos in it because it had never been remodeled.
