Flat Screen TV's

I recently had to go to Real Estate continuing education which was taught by a Real Estate attorney. I have known since being licensed that once a piece of personal property is attached to a piece of Real Estate it then becomes part of that Real Estate. You don't usually think of a TV as being a piece of Real Estate but if you attach your Plasma or LCD television to a wall in a manner that makes it apart of that home then you may be forced to leave your television with the home upon sell of that home. A good way to protect yourself from this is to write it out in the purchase agreement whether it is to remain or not. Simply advertising it to remain or not remain will not be enough it has to be apart of the signed contract. So if your selling your home make sure to take in consideration the way your TV is attached to the wall.
