Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question

Question

A salesperson notices a possible compliance problem for the Massachusetts Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving life estate and broker-salesperson supervision. What should the licensee understand? (Item 22)

Answer choices

1. A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
2. B. Identify ownership measured by a life with future rights held by another party in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.
3. C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
4. D. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.

Correct Answer

B. Identify ownership measured by a life with future rights held by another party in a way that fits Massachusetts exam practice.

Explanation

The correct answer is B because life estate requires candidates to identify ownership measured by a life with future rights held by another party. 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.
