Non All Legal Council is Created Equally
I recently heard from an entire condo board who has had the same attorney for years and whose bylaws have not been amended in almost 30 years. This, to me, is a travesty! First, if your bylaws have not been amended within the past twelve months, much less thirty years, they should be amended immediately because of changes to the Michigan Non Profit Act this past February, which have a direct, profound effect upon condo bylaws such as the enhanced ability to communicate with members of the association and condo board members electronically. There have been numerous changes in the laws that directly affect condominium operation and your attorney should be aware of these changes. If your association finds itself in a position to amend its bylaws, you should contact an experienced condo association attorney immediately to deal with these issues.
