HEARINGS

When a hearing is requested or required, the Community Council appoints three persons from the roster to serve as the Hearing Board. Selected members may not be from the same Association as the defendant, and Hearing Board members must be from three different Associations. One member of the Hearing Board will act as Chairperson. The Hearing Board shall select a date and time for the hearing, allowing sufficient time to provide the defendant with a 15-day prior notice of the hearing. The Office shall reserve a room for the hearing and prepare all documentation.

Simple Revocable Transfer on Death (TOD) Deed
The beginning of this year, Gov. Brown signed in to law the Simple Revocable Transfer on Death deed (TOD deed). This is a new and simple way to pass property to a beneficiary without a probate, without setting up a trust or a will, and without holding title as a joint tenant. The TOD deed has no effect during your lifetime, and it can be revoked at any time.
