FAQ
Most iniums in Massachusetts are created as trusts, so the unit owners will elect a board of trustees to enforce the association's rules. The trustees are generally also owners in the inium or development. An association's primary responsibility is to serve its members.
Your will can only give away assets that are entirely yours, so if you own partial interest in the land—for example, as a tenant in common with siblings—then you can only give away your share of the ownership. As previously noted, a will cannot override the ownership of the land as stated on your deed.
What Are My Rights as a Condo Owner? As a condo owner, you have the right to use your unit as provided in the master deed – if it's a residential inium unit – in a way that allows you to maintain a reasonable standard of living as required by Massachusetts health, safety and building laws.
In Massachusetts, there are primarily three types of deeds that are used in all transactions: Release Deeds, Quitclaim Deeds, and Warranty Deeds. The vast majority of property in Massachusetts is transferred via a quitclaim deed.
Essentially a quitclaim deed provides the same protections as a warranty deed, except it limits how far back in time the grantor is liable for any problems resulting from the title.
Massachusetts Recorded Document Search - Visit your county recorder's office to find HOA documents, like CC&Rs, Amendments, Bylaws, HOA Notices, Subdivision Maps, Plats, Recorded Land Surveys, Deeds, Deeds of Trust, Liens, and Judgments. Search under the subdivision or community name.
Technically, anyone can make up a new deed, but we strongly advise you to hire a lawyer to do it. If you are doing it for the first time it is easy to make a mistake that could jeopardize your ownership of the property. Once the new deed is created, signed and notarized, it should be recorded at the Registry of Deeds.
Based on Massachusetts General Law Chapter 222 Section 17E - the notaries will not notarize real estate documents, deeds, or wills. An attorney is required for those documents.
In Massachusetts, deeds are commonly prepared by legal counsel for the seller, and upon approval of the form of deed by buyer's counsel, the deed is executed by the seller.
