Which attorney should be believed?

2008 July 28  
Click History for a list of changes and updates.

__Maybe a more appropriate title is "Should any attorney for MOA be believed?" Or, what actions should a board take to ensure that any opinion of an attorney is likely to be valid under the law and governing documents?

__Part of the broader question is "Who does the attorney represent?" or "Who is the client?"

__The continuation of this post discusses these questions in the context of Article IX of the bylaws for which MOA has conflicting opinions from two different attorneys on whether or not the board of directors has the authority to amend the bylaws.

__The continuation of this post is work in progress on this subject. It is posted in its incomplete form to provide the internet links to user fee schedules used by other property owners associations. Otherwise it only provides a few notes from my internet research.
