New community developments
are often required to form a non-profit
corporation chartered with maintaining common
areas within the development. These entities
are commonly known as Homeowner's
Associations or community associations. In
addition to maintaining the common areas,
associations are also responsible for managing
the community's finances and at the direction
of the Board, enforce the guidelines in the
Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions
(CC&R).
Collecting unpaid assessments,
enforcing the association's governing
documents, handling disputes and dealing with
contractors are just a few of the issues that
Homeowner's Associations face on a daily basis.
Serving as a member of your Board of Directors
requires a significant investment of time and
energy. No matter how committed you may be to
managing affairs and addressing issues, you
may not be equipped to handle complex
association issues. Legal assistance can save
the association money and headaches by
improving efficiency and addressing situations
before they escalate into expensive problems.
