1. Not a Law Firm & No Attorney-Client Relationship
HOAFineCheck.com is an automated legal software tool and self-help publishing service. We provide informational templates, state statute summaries, and interactive document automation tools.
Your access to or use of this website, purchase of document packages, or communication with our support team does NOT establish an attorney-client relationship. We do not review your answers for legal sufficiency, draw legal conclusions, provide legal opinions, or apply the law to the specific facts of your situation.
2. No Attorney-Client Privilege
Because HOAFineCheck.com is not a law firm, communications between you and our service are not protected by attorney-client privilege or the work-product doctrine. While we protect your privacy in accordance with our Privacy Policy, these communications are not confidential legal communications under professional conduct rules.
3. Self-Representation (Pro Se) Responsibilities
When you generate a dispute letter, hearing script, or records request through HOAFineCheck.com, you are acting as your own representative (pro se). You are solely responsible for:
- Verifying the accuracy and truthfulness of all factual statements and dates;
- Confirming that the statutory citations apply to your specific community type (single-family HOA, condominium, or planned community);
- Complying with all service methods, certified mail rules, and statutory filing deadlines;
- Determining whether your matter requires immediate consultation with a licensed attorney.
4. When You Should Immediately Consult an Attorney
Self-help document generation is designed for early-stage dispute resolution, citation audits, and executive hearings. You should immediately consult a licensed attorney in your state if:
- Your HOA has filed a formal judicial lawsuit or lis pendens against your property;
- You have received a Notice of Foreclosure, Trustee Sale, or Assessment Lien notice;
- You are facing severe fines exceeding several thousand dollars or threatened utility shutoffs;
- You require formal representation in court or binding judicial arbitration.
5. Accuracy & Legal Updates
While we make diligent efforts to maintain up-to-date summaries of state statutes (such as the Texas Residential Property Owners Protection Act, California Davis-Stirling Act, Florida Chapter 720, and similar laws), laws change rapidly through legislative amendments and judicial precedents. We make no warranty or guarantee concerning the completeness, currency, or accuracy of the statutory information on this site.
