Illinois custom, law, & practice does not require a purchaser of land to have an attorney. The realtor does only the bare minimum needed for title to transfer to the Harrymores. On their behalf, she only has a minimal title search & minimal inspections done, & she obtains a minimal coverage title insurance policy. As the area near the farm was once occupied by a large chemical plant, when the realtor represents local purchasers, as a precaution, she advises the buyers to get the maximum possible title search & title insurance, & to get all possible inspections done. It is her regular practice to caution local purchasers who she represents about the former chemical plant. After closing on the property, the Harrymores learn of the old chemical plant. They seek your advice as to their liability & the liability of any other parties. (Points: 30) The Harrymores can file for a case of fraud against the realtor on the basis of the realtor’s intentional act of withholding a material fact, which the realtor was knowledgeable about.
