In Kentucky, the law emphasizes that sellers and their agents are not required to disclose certain stigmas associated with a property, such as tragic events like murder or suicide, unless specifically asked by a potential buyer. This principle is grounded in the idea that such events do not affect the physical condition or legal status of the property itself. Therefore, Matt's obligation is to not affirmatively disclose the information about the murder/suicide that occurred at the property.

This aligns with Kentucky’s Property Conveyance Law, which protects sellers and their agents from the requirement to disclose this type of information unless it directly impacts the value or condition of the property, or if the potential buyer inquires about it directly. Thus, affirmatively disclosing the information is not required, ensuring that agents like Matt can focus on the relevant aspects of the property itself while avoiding sensitive, potentially distressing disclosures unless specifically queried by buyers.
