Any Condo Board Members Out there? or Condo Law experts?

Question

Does anyone know if a proxy to a condo association is required to be Notarized? or just signed?

Answer 1

I live in a a condo and have a background in property management.

You need to look at your Condo/Home Owners Association by laws, this will tell you if your proxy must be notarized to legally pass your vote to someone.  Where I live a signature giving the proxy is sufficient.

Answer 2

I would take the document to the bank and get it notarized. Then there is no question as to it's legality.

Answer 3

Read your bylaws.

Notarizing a document DOES NOT make a document legal!!!!

Public notaries are not legal experts, they are not allowed to give legal advice and are not permitted to certify the legality of ANY document.

That is what attorney's are licensed to do.

Do you know what a notary does?  The stamp and certify that "Jane Doe" signed such-and-such document on a certain date, that they witnessed the signature and verfied the signers identity via a driver's license or passport.

That's it!

Answer 4

I'm not a board member or condo law expert, but I live in a condo and have voted many times. A proxy does not need to be notarized. It needs to say the person you are choosing as your proxy, be signed by one of the condo owners, dated and have your unit number filled in. I have also assisted in the voting, counting the ballots, and nobody every mentioned anything about a notary.
