FIRPTA Certificate (Commercial Real Estate Purchase and Sale) | Practical Law
A Standard Document delivered by the seller in a real property transaction to inform the purchaser, and the purchaser's lender, that the seller is not a foreign (non-US) individual or entity and therefore not subject to the Foreign Investment in Real Property Tax Act of 1980 (FIRPTA).
