My thought is that a Trustee of RLT is no different that a PR in an estate setting. The decedent had full ownership as Trustor just as they would if there was no Trust. The Trustee is in the same position as the personal representative as neither has the ownership
type of material knowledge to insert in the For 17. So the Trustee should likewise be exempt. Without having a statute or a court decision, perhaps the Trustee can write up an attachment to a form 17 explaining the above and say that the Trustee has no knowledge
and can not make any warranties for he same and insert a waiver for buyer to sign. </div>

<p class="x_xmsonormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Client is trustee of decedent’s revocable living trust and is selling the decedent’s houses. On the listing documents the Realtor checked the EXEMPT box next to SELLER DISCLOSURE.
RCW 64.06.010(6) provides that a personal representative of the estate of the decedent or a trustee in bankruptcy do not have to complete the seller disclosure statement that is otherwise required but I don’t see an exemption for any other type of trustee.
