Are we Obligated to Disclose here in California?


Are we Obligated to Disclose here in California?
Okay, so I was reading an article about this poor woman who moved her girls to the state of Pennsylvania from California after her husband passed away.  She was looking for a fresh start in a new place and make some new memories.

She purchased a home for a little over $600,000 and expected everything to be okay.  But when talking with a neighbor, she discovered that the year before they moved in there was a bloody massacre in which a husband killed his wife and then himself.  Of course she was shocked and surprised.  And naturally she is suing because of the lack of disclosure.  Pennsylvania law actually doesn't call for disclosure of this nature.
Now, let me put your mind at ease.  When you purchase a California home, disclosures are obligated by law.  We have to disclosure if anyone died in the property for the past three years and most people disclose everything they have knowledge about.
Are you obligated to disclosure in your state?
