    No liability if you include the cost of the wood in the selling price of the house.:rofl: :lol:

    Only if its pine and causes a chimney fire! :D

    Id be taking the wood with me, but I'm a hoarder.

    All kidding aside I wouldn't worry. If you're not sure ask your realtor or attorney.

    Should charge extra for good dry firewood included...can't see as how it would be a liability

    With greedy lawyers involved I'm sure they'd find a way.

    I had a buddy buy a house years ago. Previous owner left about 10 cords of wood.

    I can't see how there would be any more liability than if you left a crappy shed or deck that was in rough shape.

    Don't get lost for so long. As for liability, it would not concern me.

    Unfortunately realtors typically treat wood as a bad thing, even if it's neat and orderly. My mom was a realtor for 3 decades.
