The laws or rules of seller disclosure in Florida

Hi, Everyone,

I am a buyer of one residential townhouse. My buyer's agent told that the property was used to be in a living trust and then its heir got the property. The heir hasn't live in the property before, they didn't provide any seller disclosure. 

I checked the relevant florida law and as per my understanding, the seller is required to provide the seller disclosure.

But my buyer's agent told that this was not the case. The seller is NOT required to do so because the property is inherited.  

Does anyone as a buyer have a similar experience ? Any clue or hint will be greatly appreciated.
