§ 459.644. Effect of certificate of completion: Applicability to persons other than original holder

1. The relief from liability provided by NRS 459.640 extends to another person who: (a) Purchases or leases the property to which the certificate of completion relates;

or (b) Acquires, merges with or purchases substantially all of the assets of the holder

of the certificate, after the certificate is issued, if the other person is not otherwise a responsible

party. The other person is subject to any duties of the original holder of the certificate

under the remedial agreement or the certificate. 2. The relief provided to a subsequent owner or lessee continues even if it is determined

that the original holder of the certificate is not released from liability because

of a provision of NRS 459.642 if: (a) The subsequent owner or lessee purchased or leased the property in good faith

for its fair market value; and (b) The actions of the original holder of the certificate cannot be attributed to

the subsequent owner or lessee under a provision of law other than this chapter. 3. If the original holder of a certificate of completion is a prospective purchaser,

the relief from liability provided by NRS 459.640 extends to the person from whom he or she purchases the property if: (a) The seller and purchaser so agree; (b) The seller bears the expense of removal or remediation performed on the property,

directly or indirectly; (c) The seller is a responsible party only because of his or her ownership of the

property; and (d) The Administrator approves the extension of relief and incorporates it into the

certificate of completion.
