Is the seller of a car responsible for a smog test pass and or repairs to pass a test prior to sale?
State of California The seller is required to provide the buyer with a valid smog inspection certification at the time of the sale or transfer. Smog certifications are good for 90 days from the date of issuance. The inspection is not required on a transfer if a biennial smog certification was submitted to DMV within 90 days prior to the vehicle transfer date (a vehicle inspection report may be required for proof of certification). Starting January 1, 2005, smog certifications will not be required for transfers that occur for any motor vehicle that is four or less model years old. A smog transfer fee will be collected from the new owner.

Asbestos problems in the house who is to blame recently bought house mortgage lenders did not pick up on the asbestos are they responsible for the problem?
The mortgage lender is responsible only for assuring that the value of the home is sufficient to back the loan, unless state regulation places additional responsibilities on them. Unless the state has required that the seller test for and reveal whether or not asbestos is present, it is the buyer's responsibility to identify such issues before the sale is closed and to seek either lower price or removal of the material by the seller. Identifying such problems is the function of the Engineering inspection that the potential buyer should obtain as a condition of proceding with the sale.
