Homeowner
Would it be a conflict of interest if an HOA director/President write a personal check to the associations attorney he is President over to pay for legal advice he has about the association.

Daniel,
The current conflict of interest laws for these communities are extremely weak, but do not address in any way the type of issue that you mentioned. Any homeowner can solicit an attorney to represent their interest in any issue and pay for that service out of their personal accounts. If what you are stating in your question is that a board member is using the same attorney that represents the association to represent an issue unrelated to the association or community, then they are no issues whatsoever on that arrangement. The attorney cannot represent the association and an individual board member on an issue involving the community. That would be a conflict for the attorney.
