Duty to Investigate – Due Diligence

The duty to investigate or due diligence is one of the fiduciary duties of homeowner association board members. Association board members must make a reasonable inquiry before making decisions. This does not mean they must do everything themselves. Board members can rely on other professionals including construction experts to gather information for their review and discussion.

A board member cannot close his or her eyes to what is going on in the conduct of the business of the corporation and have it said that he or she is exercising good business judgment.
