What is a critical aspect a proxy-giver should be aware of regarding valid proxies?

A critical aspect for a proxy-giver to understand is that proxies remain valid until the association is notified of a death. This means that once a proxy is executed, it continues to be effective until the granting individual passes away or formally revokes the proxy. This aspect is particularly important in community association governance, as it affects how votes are cast and ensures continuity in representation in meetings.

This validity allows proxy-givers to maintain their choice of representation even if there are changes in their circumstances, such as temporary unavailability. Awareness of this information can assist proxy-givers in making informed decisions about appointing someone to act on their behalf, ensuring that their interests continue to be represented in community matters.

Understanding the conditions under which proxies remain valid enables more streamlined operations within associations and helps in preventing potential disputes regarding the authority to vote on matters affecting the community association.
