Fair Housing, Practice, and Disclosures Practice Question
Question
A client asks whether a fact should be disclosed for the Oregon Real Estate Broker Exam involving unauthorized legal advice and broker supervision and disclosure practice. Which response best applies the rule? (Item 32)
Answer choices
- A. The party who complains first automatically receives the remedy requested.
- B. Escrow or closing staff automatically assume all brokerage agency and disclosure duties.
- C. The client’s preference eliminates the need to disclose known material facts.
- D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits Oregon exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Avoid drafting legal rights or giving legal opinions beyond license authority in a way that fits Oregon 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 Oregon 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.
