Hello! My in laws received a letter that the dormant hoa still exists per the covenant in each property abstract. In the letter they state its been dormant for "several years". In reality, its been dormant for over 12 years if not more (we have a 22yo and I dont recall it being active most of her life). I find it odd that the letter came from an OKC resident (someone who doesnt even live out here), shows three officers (one of them is the okc resident) and with it being dormant someone made a decision to try to reactivate it. I'd thought the officers would cease to exist being dormant for so long and or people would have passed away by now. They want to hold a meeting, elect officers decide what work needs to be done and collect annual road dues. They must have a quorum present to hold an official meeting. They want my in laws to send a proxy if they cannot attend.
My in laws are in their late 70's and are on fixed incomes. My MIL is on daily dialysis due to kidney failure. Their property is paid for as well as their trailer. They cant afford to pay any additional debt. The roads they speak of are not used by our family (bridge out/dangerous), no trash service is picked up there, mail is not delivered for my in laws there either. They have a safe back road through their son's property that is used. Many of the residents in this area are probably elderly by now, because many of their neighbors are still living there.
So my question is can the hoa that has been dormant be active again, especially after this many years? What does the quorum have to be in order to hold the meeting? Are there any exceptions for elderly or people in poor health conditions? Is there anything we can do about this? Anything else we may need to know as I'm sure Im not asking all the questions I need to ask. I tried to do some research to get these answers and didnt find much except what an hoa was.
We live in Oklahoma (Cleveland Co). Rural area with people mostly living in trailer houses. Theres not much activity out here, so Im guessing most of these residents havent moved and are elderly. There are children that live out here and a few live with their grandparents. The bus only drives down the main road, they will not drive down each individual road due to gas costs. People out here are known to work together to fix any road issues or fix areas that are in front of there property.
Thank you for your help!
