What You Should Know Before Using Our Lead Paint Disclosure Forms
Am I selling a residential property in the U.S.?" and "Is that property built before 1978?"
If you answered "Yes" to both questions, then you are required by law to give your buyer two lead paint forms - a lead paint disclosure form and a lead paint pamphlet.
First let's talk about the lead based paint pamphlet. Since it has to be EPA approved, there is just one correct version: "Protect Your Family from Lead in Your Home." - Click here for the official HUD Lead Paint Pamphlet.
Next let's move on to your lead paint disclosure. Home sellers are required by federal law (that means all states) to reveal any known information regarding the existence and condition of lead paint in the house. The magic word here is "known", meaning the seller only has to reveal details that he or she already knows (so there's no need to hire a lead paint inspector).
Once you're done filling in the blanks, attach both the lead paint disclosure form and pamphlet to your Real Estate Purchase Contract. You must give the buyer 10 days to carry out a lead paint inspection, unless the buyer is kind / casual enough to waive this right.
Oh yes don't forget about your other real estate disclosures - More than 30 states have slapped on laws requiring home sellers to expose other defects and uglies on their property. To find out more, Click here for our Real Estate Disclosure Form.
