Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving joint tenancy and broker-salesperson supervision. What should the licensee understand? (Item 25)
Answer choices
- A. Identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
- B. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- C. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- D. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
Correct Answer
A. Identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is A because joint tenancy requires candidates to identify survivorship concepts and required unity elements at a high exam level. The Massachusetts reference keeps the scenario tied to state licensing practice, while the other options rely on unsafe assumptions about oral custom, escrow, client preference, independent licensee authority, or ignoring written duties.
