You are correct years ago I represented the Realtor who sold a house where owners mother had committed suicide which wasn't disclosed and the buyer sued for non disclosure saying the Ghost of the deceased was still in the property crt dismissed saying no requirement of disclosure

My understanding is that in the State of Washington, sellers are not required to disclose a death on the property (whether by murder, suicide, etc.).

Listmates, does anyone know what the seller's disclosure requirement ( if any) is when someone has committed suicide in a home?  Thanks, Craig
