What must the disclosure contain?

• A. Name of the person you disclose to
• B. Legal description and address of the subject real estate
• C. Indication that the licensee is licensed
• D. Signature of the licensee, date and witness

Answer: (D)

Disclosures must be documented in writing with authentication from the licensee to create a verifiable record of what was disclosed and when. The essential requirement is that the licensee signs the disclosure, dates it, and has a witness attest to it. This combination provides accountability and a reliable timeline, which helps prevent disputes about who stated what and when it happened.

Having a witness is important because it confirms the signature and date, adding an extra layer of integrity to the disclosure process. This is why the best choice emphasizes the licensee’s signature, the date, and a witness.

The other details listed aren’t required parts of the disclosure itself. The name of the person you disclose to isn’t a mandated element of the disclosure form, the legal description and address of the subject real estate are separate property details, and simply indicating that the licensee is licensed isn’t a necessary component of the disclosure record.
