Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the New Jersey Real Estate Salesperson Exam involving unauthorized legal advice and attorney review awareness. What should the licensee understand? (Item 128)
Answer choices
- A. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- B. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- C. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits New Jersey exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because unauthorized legal advice requires candidates to avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority. The New Jersey 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.
