Full text of Nevada Nevada Revised Statutes § 116.3104 — Transfer of special declarant's right, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 116.3104. Transfer of special declarant's right
1. A special declarant's right created or reserved under this chapter may be transferred
only by an instrument evidencing the transfer recorded in every county in which any
portion of the common-interest community is located. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, the instrument is not effective unless
executed by the transferee. 2. Upon transfer of any special declarant's right, the liability of a transferor declarant
is as follows: (a) A transferor is not relieved of any obligation or liability arising before the
transfer and remains liable for warranties imposed upon the transferor by this chapter. Lack of privity does not deprive any unit's owner of standing to maintain an action
to enforce any obligation of the transferor. (b) If a successor to any special declarant's right is an affiliate of a declarant,
the transferor is jointly and severally liable with the successor for any obligations
or liabilities of the successor relating to the common-interest community. (c) If a transferor retains any special declarant's rights, but transfers other special
declarant's rights to a successor who is not an affiliate of the declarant, the transferor
is liable for any obligations or liabilities imposed on a declarant by this chapter
or by the declaration relating to the retained special declarant's rights and arising
after the transfer. (d) A transferor has no liability for any act or omission or any breach of a contractual
obligation or warranty arising from the exercise of a special declarant's right by
a successor declarant who is not an affiliate of the transferor. 3. Unless otherwise provided in a mortgage, deed of trust or other agreement creating
a security interest, in case of foreclosure of a security interest, sale by a trustee
under an agreement creating a security interest, tax sale, judicial sale or sale under
the Bankruptcy Code or a receivership, of any units owned by a declarant or real estate
in a common-interest community subject to developmental rights, a person acquiring
title to all the property being foreclosed or sold succeeds to all special declarant's
rights related to that property held by that declarant and the instrument conveying
title need not be executed by the transferee to be effective. If the person acquiring title to the property being foreclosed or sold pursuant
to this section desires to succeed to some but not all of the special declarant's
rights or none of the special declarant's rights, then the judgment or instrument
conveying title may provide for transfer of only the special declarant's rights requested,
in which case the transferee shall succeed only to any special declarant's rights
requested and such judgment or instrument must be executed by the transferee to be
effective. 4. Upon foreclosure of a security interest, sale by a trustee under an agreement creating
a security interest, tax sale, judicial sale or sale under the Bankruptcy Code or
a receivership of all interests in a common-interest community owned by a declarant: (a) The declarant ceases to have any special declarant's rights; and (b) The period of declarant's control ( NRS 116.31032 ) terminates unless the judgment or instrument conveying title provides for transfer
of all special declarant's rights held by that declarant to a successor declarant.
