</div>
<div dir="ltr"><br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">Listmates: I have two quick questions with (I hope) quick answers: 1. I vaguely remember a case where a homeowner combined two lots and then refused to pay for the dues for the two lots because the homeowner now owned "only" <br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">one lot. I think the WA court found for the homeowners association and rejected the homeowner's position. Anyone have a cite to that case?<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">2. I have a PC who is being told by her HOA board that ALL communications from the HOA's attorney are subject to the atty-client privilege and will not be shared with the homeowners. The board takes this position regarding all communications, even non-litigation matters such as interpretation of the CC&Rs. Any cases out there to get me going on research? Thanks, Paul Neumiller<br>

<div dir="ltr">The trick is to look at all the governing documents, especially the plat<br>

<div dir="ltr">maps. They will probably refer to assessments by lot, and lot will probably<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">be intended to be, "originally platted lots." Look at the original<br>

<div dir="ltr">covenants, and anything else from that time period, such as the original<br>

<div dir="ltr">Articles or Bylaws. Whatever they say is what it all meant back then, and<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">that is the real issue. You can bolster this with more current Bylaws (or<br>
