In this HOA Q&A, California’s top homeowner-side HOA attorney, Michael Kushner, breaks down a growing problem in California HOAs involving “trust-owned” homes, unrecorded deeds, HOA voting rights, and who legally qualifies to sit on an HOA board under the Davis-Stirling Act. 🎯 What You’ll Learn in This HOA Q&A: ✅ How California law defines an HOA “member” for voting and board eligibility purposes. ✅ Why trusts, trustees, LLCs, and corporations are treated differently under California HOA law. ✅ How unrecorded “pocket deeds” are treated by the Davis-Stirling Act. Board eligibility disputes inside California HOAs are becoming increasingly common, especially in communities where homeowners, managers, or directors misunderstand how ownership actually works under the Davis-Stirling Act.
