- Short Description:
- Minnesota law imposes substantial limitations and requirements on licensed builders. In particular, there is a long statute of repose (a/k/a statute of limitations) that results in liability that can continue long after a builder has retired. Likewise, the sale or transfer of the business may not excuse liabilities imposed under Minnesota’s statutory framework for contractor warranties under Minnesota Statutes Chapter 327A. An understanding of builders’ obligations and careful planning can result in a successful business transition. This course takes builders through the process and ensures limiting liability while meeting their obligations.
