Disclose Family Interest: Does In-Law Count?

by amyc

The Code of Ethics and Arbitration Manual (Manual) doesn’t list mother-in-law as a relationship that Realtors must disclose. Yet, after my mother-in-law submitted the highest offer on a property and it was accepted, the seller later filed an ethics complaint alleging that I should have disclosed our relationship. Was I wrong?
