Legal advice on managed and shared property — Legal adviser
Describe the legal question or document involving managed or shared property and identify the instructing client. Provide the jurisdiction and any representative authority through an appropriate private channel. Specify advice rather than assuming litigation, conveyancing or representation is included.
Service scope
Advice on a defined legal question involving managed or shared property for an identified client and jurisdiction. The adviser clarifies the document or issue, representation mandate and professional limits; a shared-building context is not an authority to act for every owner or resident.
What is normally included
- Establish the client and defined legal-advice question
- Review the relevant authorised documents
- Provide agreed advice or a referral within professional scope
What is not included
- No automatic litigation or conveyancing scope
- Assumption that a manager represents every owner
- Universal owners' association powers
- Automatic inclusion of tenancy, conveyancing or litigation work
Typical tasks
- Establish the client and defined legal-advice question
- Review the relevant authorised documents
- Provide agreed advice or a referral within professional scope
- Identify missing facts and documents needed to answer the stated legal question
- Explain the advice's limits and any recommended next professional instruction
What to include in your brief
- Instructing legal client
- Question/document and jurisdiction
- Advice versus representation
- Relevant correspondence, agreements and any known deadlines
- Other involved parties and previous advice, shared through a private channel
Choosing the right professional
Choose an adviser for the jurisdiction and subject matter and verify the permitted professional scope. Ask which advice outputs are included and whether representation needs a separate engagement.
Important considerations
- The instructing party may not represent every owner or resident
- A document review can expose issues needing separately retained representation
