Question:
I am a member of our Covenant Review Committee that has been formed to update a 50 year old HOA covenant in the Merrywood subdivision of Folsom, Louisiana. What are the first steps in updating such a document? Is there a person that we can contact?

Answer:
Hi Linda,
The first steps might include a full review of the community’s governing documents. Some provisions may be unclear, outdated, no longer compliant with state law, or no longer applicable to the community. It’s important to update the covenants to be in line with state law and the community’s current needs. The committee may also gather insights from the board members and homeowners.
It may also be helpful to review legal requirements in the state of Louisiana to ensure that the covenants are not in conflict. It’s best to consult a lawyer with expertise in HOA covenants for further assistance. You can find a lawyer through our online directory: https://www.hoamanagement.com/
