Principles, Property, and Land Use Practice Question
Question
A supervising broker is reviewing a transaction file for the Washington Real Estate Broker Exam involving tenancy in common and seller disclosure and environmental awareness. Which statement is the best answer? (Item 164)
Answer choices
- A. The requirement matters only when the buyer obtains institutional financing.
- B. The affiliated licensee may handle the matter independently without broker responsibility.
- C. Local custom controls even when a statute, regulation, contract, or disclosure rule applies.
- D. Recognize separate inheritable shares without survivorship rights in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Correct Answer
D. Recognize separate inheritable shares without survivorship rights in a way that fits Washington exam practice.
Explanation
The correct answer is D because tenancy in common requires candidates to recognize separate inheritable shares without survivorship rights. The Washington 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.
