Do I have to disclose asbestos to a buyer in James Island?

South Carolina's residential property disclosure law requires a seller to disclose known material defects about the property, and known asbestos would generally fall under that requirement if the seller is actually aware of it. A seller is not required to test for problems they do not know about, only to disclose what they actually know. Brian Beatty and the closing attorney can walk a James Island seller through what the disclosure form actually requires before listing.
