There are many potential areas for recovery. Did seller know, did brokers know, and other questions need to be answered. Please feel free to call for free consultation. Joel Selik, Attorney and Broker, 800-894-2889. www.4thelaw.com

Your friend needs legal assistance immediately. Get a local lawyer with real estate and environmental liability law experience. Getting on title to contaminated property results in exposure to liability for cleanup, even if you didn't create the pollution. Innocence can perhaps be an excuse unless you had reason to suspect and failed to investigate.
Your friend needs to fight the battle on two fronts: escaping personal liability, and tagging the broker and the seller with liability.
Find a lawyer that practices in the county where the property is located.
