Our President for HOA sold her unit. Because of this she has resigned to her position as a Board Member. Thru her resignation letter she thanks the comunity for entrusting her and also advice about the destruction or tossing out of any documents she had. Is there any law or rules which states any about the handling of documents after a resignation. Was she supposed to turn them in? Is there any thing we should do against her for they way she proceed? Help me please with this little situation. Probably their's other association that has gone thru this same issue.

Magdalena, she should have turned them over. However, if these were her personal copies, not the official association copies, she had the right to destroy them. If they are the official association copies she performed a big NO NO and you should try to reconstruct as many as possible.

In reference to the documents that she had they were copies given from the manager, which I already contact and she advice me to just go ahead and start a new "Minute Book" which a beginning page advicing that any prior information should be requested to the manager. Although I feel these documents have not been destroyed and she is just keeping them to start an HOA at an old community without an HOA.

Magdalena, from your post I assume the manager has the official records. Therefore, if you need certain copies request them from the Manager. Otherwise, I would drop it and move on.
