Property Ownership and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A first-time buyer asks for exam-focused clarification involving fixtures. The parties need a practical answer before moving forward. Which answer best applies the rule? (Item 39)
Answer choices
- A. It prevents any later disclosure, even when new facts become known.
- B. It applies only to commercial property and never to residential transactions.
- C. Apply attachment, adaptation, and intent tests to distinguish fixtures from personal property.
- D. It is controlled only by local custom rather than by law, contract, or professional duty.
Correct Answer
C. Apply attachment, adaptation, and intent tests to distinguish fixtures from personal property.
Explanation
The correct answer is C because fixtures requires candidates to apply attachment, adaptation, and intent tests to distinguish fixtures from personal property. The other options overstate the effect of custom, oral agreement, escrow, or independent salesperson action and do not reflect safe California exam practice.
