Regulations
Co-ownership refers to legal relations in which two or more entities have equal rights to the use of a property. Co-ownership sometimes results in a variety of problems regarding multiple issues. The law attempts to mitigate in numerous ways, including judicial oversight of ‘reasonableness’ or fiduciary duties; thus ending the co-ownership relation through the right of partition or providing rules that seek to optimize the joint decision-making process such as compulsory unitization. For this and more, it is extremely important that co-ownership associations utilize precise means to obtain exact shares of ownership
In the State of Florida, regulations dealing with co-ownership properties are found under Title XL(40) Real and Personal Property, Chapters 718 Condominiums, 719 Cooperatives, 720 Homeowner's Associations, and 721 Timeshares. These regulations are updated on a case by case basis. Further, this type of practice is known as Condominium and Planned Development Law. A variety of processes are handle through this field which includes community associations and planned developments. It is through these developments that Co-ownership Interest Calculations are first instituted.
If an association seeks to modify the manner in which its shares are attributed to, it is common practice that a minimum of two thirds (2/3) of its members agree to do so.
