SEller's Liability

  I sold my home in Louisiana a month ago. How long after the sale before I am no longer responsible for anything concerning the home?

Thanks
 
  You can be held liable only if you knew about a significant problem and deliberately failed to disclose it, or of course if you lied to the buyer. 
I'm afraid I don't know how long the statute of limitations would run on that in Louisiana.  If one particular item is bothering you, a quick question to a real estate lawyer should help.
