“There are far too many examples of retirement communities extracting large fees from members for making ordinary financial decisions about their property,” said Singer (R-30).“This legislation would protect individuals, especially senior citizens, living in a homeowners’ association, condominium association, or other cooperative, by prohibiting the association from charging unreasonable fees or penalties if a member places their unit into a trust.”

Under Singer’s bill, S-3463, the placement of an association member’s unit or assets into a living, revocable trust fund would not constitute a title transfer for the associations’ purposes.

Under current law, some associations can derive a financial benefit when an association member sells or transfers a unit, including placing their unit into a living, revocable trust.
