I believe that's the point of an exculpatory agreement.

There seems to be a lot of ongoing discussions about homebuilt sale
liabilities. I have yet to see a list of successful lawsuits against
a builder. Never mind successful, just a list of any lawsuits will do....

Yes, no one can stop anyone from suing, but when you have an agreement
that
says the buyer acknowledges the dangers, etc. and you have the wife sign
it
as well as some witnesses that can come to court and testify that it was
not
signed under duress, etc., it tends to have a dampening effect on the
plaintiff's lawyer. Or, sell the aircraft out of the country. I sold one
to
Spain and even gave the buyer a nice discount to sweeten the deal.

The EAA did have a checklist back in '99. Ken is right!
These sales can always be opened up, but I till think it is
wise to take these precautions anyway.

Look up - "suggested checklist for sale of a homebuilt"
under Google Groups for some good background.
This will give you a good start. I would also insist that
the new owner must do an immediate annual inspection.
This may require some timing, but there are ways.
