Q: How long are seller disclosures valid
The seller filled them out in May of 2014 and we just went into contract. Can I use them or do they need to fill out new ones?
Thank you!

The answer will depend on how the contract and disclosures are phrased. Ideally, the representations and warranties should be made as of the escrow closing date. Be sure to consult your own attorney to protect your legal rights.
A: So long as the disclosures are still valid and there's not any additional information to disclose, then you should be able to use those disclosures.
