Diedinhouse.com a New Residential History Service

Diedinhouse.com allows users to type in any valid U.S. address for it to instantly search millions of records to help determine if a death has occurred at that address. Because it is not a standard practice to document the address of a death, the report also includes previous residents and their vitality status; additional information to assist home renters, buyers, sellers and agents with researching a properties history.

 

Most states do not have a law to disclose that a property is stigmatized. Three state have law to disclose events within one to three years of the purchase date. 15 states have a law that only if the buyer asks and seller knows they are to disclose. The remaining 32 states have no law, therefore no legal action can be taken against anyone for deliberately not disclosing. 

Learn more at Diedinhouse.com and on our Facebook page.  There you can learn about state laws regarding stigmatized properties, stories of people that found out after they signed the contract and more!!
