<p class="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.
