Do I need to disclose if there was a death in the home?

Death due to sickness. Do I need to disclose that when selling?

It depends on where you live. Some states require disclosure -- others do not. (There are probably many more deaths in homes than anyone ever know about.) If the death in the home was or was not a brutal event -- the neighbors would surely tell the new owners anyways.

If you are in Georgia and it was a "peaceful" death you do not need to disclose. Some states require, but not Georgia.

In Maryland if it is not a material fact of the home then no, you do not

In Georgia, you are not required to disclose upfront, however, if asked directly you must answer honestly.
