I am wondering if anyone is familiar with the legality of the matter of having a unit owner of a condo in NYC appoint a representative (who doesn't own shares in the building) to attend meetings, give input, and cast votes. Does anyone have experience or legal advice about this? Would a notarized letter by the owner appointing the representative work? Would the representative have the same powers as the unit owner? Thanks
If your Bylaws are silent, then you should ask to see a properly executed Power of Attorney (POA) where owner ascribes power to rep. The unit owner woudl ave to be very careful not draft in a way that the rep. gains significant power over all matters involving condo, including purchase sale, etc...
If no POA, then rep. shoudl be a diregarded entity.
Board should require a properly executed/notarized POA, if Bylaws do not already prohibit such.
they don't need a POA, but a proxy.
condo president needs a VP with brains like Bush needed one
ab_11218 - u r a total moron. re-read question.
no, you are. POA is retarded, like you, living in BillyBurg made you dumb. PROXY 99% of the time.

check the by-laws, if there is anything vague, ny state law defaults to corporate law, so look to how annual meetings of ny state corporations are handled and common stock holders appointing representatives to vote on their behalf. It's quite similar.
thanks for the suggestions
a proxy letter is fine. there is nothing you can do legally against this (even if your bylaws suggest it), why would you have an issue with this anyway?
miscellaneous, what are you trying to accomplish?
