An agent licensed under this chapter representing a party in the sale, leasing, or exchange of real property shall have no affirmative duty to disclose to any person who acquires, by voluntary or involuntary transfer, a legal or equitable interest in real property, including any leasehold or security interest for an obligation, information not required by this chapter or applicable federal law.
Effective: June 24, 2003

Terms Used In Kentucky Statutes 324.162

  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
  • Federal: refers to the United States. See Kentucky Statutes 446.010
  • Obligation: An order placed, contract awarded, service received, or similar transaction during a given period that will require payments during the same or a future period.
  • Real property: Land, and all immovable fixtures erected on, growing on, or affixed to the land.
