A leaking residential heating oil tank in New Jersey can trigger far more than an environmental cleanup – it can derail a real estate transaction, create significant financial liability, and subject homeowners to a complex web of state regulatory requirements. This in-depth program provides practitioners with a roadmap for managing these matters from start to finish, including the first steps that should be undertaken to protect your client until the tank has been removed and contamination addressed. Join us to learn how to respond quickly and effectively when a leak is discovered and avoid common pitfalls. Register today!
