[WSBAPT] Contaminated real property in an estate

[Sherry Bosse Lueders]

Has anyone run across the following scenario? PR discovers real property
in an estate is contaminated. Does the PR have any duty to remove
contaminant from the property before transferring it to the beneficiary?
Is there even a duty to disclose the presence of the contamination to the
beneficiary, since no Form 17 would be required if PR were to sell the
real property? 

 

Thanks for your collective wisdom!
