Why it matters who signs the addendum first

Provided By Texas Association of Realtors

Does the order in which a buyer and a seller sign the addendum for lead-based paint matter?
Yes. The seller must sign first, because the seller provides information to the buyer regarding any known lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards, as well as any records and reports pertaining to lead-based paint and/or lead-based paint hazards. The prospective buyer must have this information when deciding whether to conduct a risk assessment or inspection for the presence of lead-based paint or lead-based paint hazards. Note that the disclosure must be made before any contract is executed.
