Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Massachusetts
Power of Attorney rights verses real unit owner
My girlfriend is the unit owner of the condo we live. I am not on the deed. She would like me to take her place at the condo board meeting and be able to be on the board. Chapter 183A of the Mass general laws only states the �Unit Owner� and does not mention agent or parties acting for the �Unit Owner�. I have a Power of Attorney written to act in her behalf and benefit at the condo meeting and on the board if elected. At any time she may nullify the agreement with a written notice to me. Is a Power of Attorney enough to get me recognized as her agent or party and allow me on the board?
