The All Inclusive & Belt Way disclosures have been updated.
What is the All Inclusive? The All Inclusive attempts to address current issues that have not been addressed within the Seller’s Real Property Disclosure Statement and/or to expand on these issues. It is designed to aid the sales executive and the client in keeping up with new disclosure issues and to expand on other currently known issues. Your broker at Prudential, Americana Group, REALTORS® aims to keep this form up to date and only as lengthy as necessary. Its history starts with the Mold form of 1999, when the first mold law suit was filed in Las Vegas. Soon after more disclosures were created to address issues like ‘pests,’ or ‘scorpions’ (also the result of law suits).
The Beltway form is now in the All Inclusive.
In another space saving measure Americana Group joined the Belt Way form with the All Inclusive. This joined form no longer contains a map. Mapping each current road construction project in the Las Vegas Valley became too confusing, so the names of agencies in charge of the construction, their phone numbers and web pages were put in the map’s place on the All Inclusive. This allows a Buyer a more informed opportunity to investigate their individual areas of concern, from, for example, the Boulder City Bypass to the North Fifth Street Construction by the North Las Vegas Public Works.
The All Inclusive does not replace the SRPD.
The All Inclusive discloses new potential issues and expands on those already affecting transactions. The SRPD is always changing, so too does the All Inclusive. For example mold used to not be mentioned in the SRPD, but it is now #7 page 2, “Any previous or current fungus or mold?” But, for example, another issue, “NRS 40 Construction Defect Litigation,” is mentioned but does not go far enough. It does not, for example, ask if a seller has ‘opted out of a construction defect law suit.’ Whether a Seller has opted out of such a suit, can be of great importance to a Buyer. Therefore, in the All Inclusive, the question is asked, have you “opted out” of NRS 40 litigation? Thus expanding on the issue. Most recently Chinese Drywall is a topic. What in the world? Yes, drywall. Americana Group does not want any of its clients or sales executives dragged into a time wasting case, so it researched this drywall issue and placed on the All Inclusive what is currently known and where a Buyer can get more information. Topics like this are the perfect subject matter of the All Inclusive.
All Inclusive & SRPD Repetitions Removed.
The All Inclusive removed areas that were repeated in the SRPD. For example, since Mold and Pest Infestation are now mentioned in the SRPD, the All Inclusive merely informs a Buyer where they can get more information and advises them to rely on expert inspections if there is a concern. The “NRS 40 Construction Defect” disclosure was simplified to merely address issues such as “Opt Out” not mentioned in the SRPD.
Signatures
The All Inclusive is designed to be signed by a Buyer even when a Seller will not sign. Sounds backwards right? But it is not. The Seller may not be the best person to even answer a question about a property. They may not have ever lived there. The All Inclusive attempts to ‘inform’ the Buyer of ‘areas of concern.’ And remember the SRPD is mandated by NRS 113, the All Inclusive is not. The All Inclusive then, when not signed by a Seller, becomes a general informative disclosure of new subjects such as Chinese Drwall and gives general information on Mold and Pests.

needless to say I was surprised since I didn’t know the form had changed. So I have a client who had all his kitec repaired when he had a leak before it became a construction defect issue. Not sure how to fill it out?

If the home owner has not been the subject of a “claim governed by NRS 40.600 to 40.695”, in other words a construction defect case, then he has not had construction defect and would not disclose it, (has no duty to). However, if he has been requested to join but opted out of a law suit, he can disclose that to a buyer.
Also, if he “fixed the issue” there nothing to disclose. The Supreme Court in Nelson v. Heer, 123 Nev. Adv. Op. 26 (2007) held that N.R.S. 113 requires sellers of residential property to disclose to potential buyers only those defects of which the seller is aware. In that case the Court concluded that because the Seller had the water damage repaired and was not aware of any issues such as mold or new leaks, the Seller did not have a duty under Chapter 113 to disclose the prior damage.
