Know Your Disclosure Duties in Indiana

Indiana sellers must complete a state-mandated disclosure form before accepting any offer. Unlike neighboring states, Indiana is a title company state, a local title or escrow company handles the title search and closing without the strict requirement for a real estate attorney.

HOA Documents: Governing documents, bylaws, and applicable fees must be provided if the property is part of a homeowners association.
