Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Illinois
association treasurer stealing money
I own a condo in illinois. There is an association
for our individual building but is is dissolved. The
treasurer of the association did not handle the
paperwork for the state properly and that is why the
association was dissolved, but the building owners
have still been paying the $80.00 a month for the
association dues directly to the treasurer. The
treasurer refuses to tell the other owners of the
building what the $80.00 a month is covering and she
refuses to let us know how much money is in the
account or any other information for that matter.
Some of the owners have stopped paying the monthly
dues because of this. Now the treasurer is moving
and she still refuses to give any of the bank
information or pass on the treasurer position to
anyone else. She doesn't answer her door and she
doesn't respond the certified letters. We believe
she is planning to take the money out of the
association account and leave town with it. What are
our rights as owners even though the association is
dissolved? It is not her personal money to keep.
Please help what do we do?

Re: association treasurer stealing money
Sounds like you should be running to the court house to file suit. With all the condo members, you ought to be able to hire a lawyer. Good Luck!
