Red Flags in Your Governing Documents
Not all governing documents are created equal, and in fact, many documents are just flat-out bad. But oftentimes, associations can make do with their current governing documents despite some bad ...provisions. Other times, however, the provisions contain language, or the lack of language, that is simply too problematic to keep operating under. In this presentation, we will examine those risky red flags that may mean it is time to amend your documents, and waiting is no longer an option. Plan on attending this webinar if your governing documents leave more to be desired so you can be in a position to determine whether it’s time to look at amendment.

Governing documents are not usually very clear when it comes to maintenance and repair obligations. But sometimes, these obligations appear to be fairly straight forward. However, it is precisely those ...types of provisions that can get associations in trouble. For example, boards oftentimes believe they know exactly who is responsible for unit repairs when such unit suffered damage due to leaking pipes; other times, landscaping obligations for front yards of townhomes seem fairly clear. But these are just two out of many, scenarios that oftentimes lead legal troubles. This webinar will explore exactly those strange and problematic scenarios that tend to throw monkey wrenches into maintenance obligations even though they seem straight forward.
