Does anyone have a checklist for transition from one Management Company to the next with an associated timeline?

Thanks

Extremely important to make sure that the change of registered agent takes place. The new company should do this as a matter of course (changing the corporate agent with the state), but demand a copy. I've literally seen hundreds of associations lose their corporate standing and protections because the old managerment company was listed a the registered agent, and just trashed the renewal paperwork from the state.
