As soon as an HOA’s Board of Directors decides that it can rely on an attorney to justify actions that seem to be impossible or implausible based on the contents of the HOA’s governing documents, it is time for members to take one of two actions: (1) put up a fight to regain control of the HOA or (2) give up an ignore the situation if the member does not want to sell his/her property. I have observed two types of actions that members have taken to control self-serving Boards.
