I sell a lot of of Probate and Trust sales. They are not quite like a traditional sale, but not as unlike a traditional sale as a Short Sale or Foreclosure. One of the differences are disclosure obligations. In California one of the diclosure requirements that causes the most confusion is what happens about the Natural Hazard Disclosure Report and statement. It is simple:

As per the Trust Advisory or Probate Advisory that needs to be signed in each of these transaction the Trustee in the case of a Trust, or the Personal Representative in the case of a Probate, is required to provide a Natural Hazard Disclosure report, but is not to sign the report.

The most common request I have with these sales is for the Trustee's signature on the Natural Hazard Report. It is not an oversight that it was not signed, it was on purpose.

If you have any questions about trust or propabate sales in Santa Clara or San Mateo Counties, please feel free to ask me.
