About
This Book
Owners
and operators
of real property are generally responsible for contamination at the
property,
regardless of when or by whom the contamination was caused. This book
begins
with a chapter that summarizes federal and Missouri environmental laws
that may
be implicated in a sale or lease of commercial or industrial property,
discusses
how environmental issues can be identified and assessed during real
estate
transactions, and provides recommendations for preparing documents for
the
transfer of commercial or industrial properties. The second chapter
covers the
expanding body of federal regulations applicable to real estate
transactions.
The ongoing financial and real estate crisis has brought on increased
scrutiny,
and enforcement actions are rising. The chapter covers disclosure
requirements,
RESPA, FTC issues, civil rights issues, the ADA, and more. The
electronic
versions include sample forms in word-processing format.
This
publication is
an updated version of the work that originally appeared as two chapters
in the
MoBarCLE deskbook Missouri Real Estate
Practice. To make the information on this important topic
more widely
available, MoBarCLE is publishing this information in a stand-alone
book. These
guidebooks are available in a choice of formats: softbound print book,
CD-ROM,
or download. The electronic versions include sample forms in
word-processing
format. Purchasers can buy both the print and an electronic version for
a
discounted price. Order yours today!
