1) A washer and dryer are always considered personal property and cannot be declared real estate
2) The washer and dryer must be transferred by a separate Bill of Sale if they are not on the registry as a component by declaration and registry

4) Both B and C are correct

Answer 1

A washer and dryer can be considered part of the real estate sale if they are on the registry as a component by declaration and registry by the seller.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statement(s) regarding the clause in the contract is:

1. A washer and dryer can be considered part of the real estate sale if they are on the registry as a component by declaration and registry by the seller. This means that they must be specifically mentioned in the contract as being included in the sale.
2. If the washer and dryer are not on the registry as a component, a separate Bill of Sale must be used to transfer ownership.

Therefore, statement 3, 'The washer and dryer may be considered real estate if they are on the registry as a component by declaration and registry by the seller,' is correct. Statement 1 is incorrect because a washer and dryer can be declared part of the real estate sale. Statement 2 is also incorrect because a separate Bill of Sale is not required if the washer and dryer are listed on the registry.
