I have a situation where a deceased owner of five (5) Lots in our Plan left her estate to a relative, who on the basis of my initial contact seems like a real pain in the a***.

She’s one of those people whose perception is that the Owners Corporation pays for everything, and she told me that she has a list of demands ready for when I send out our Preliminary Notice calling for Motions to be submitted for inclusion on the Agenda of our upcoming AGM.

I don’t object to such requests and have had no problems in the past with doing what needs to be done and with batting away the others, but the five (5) Lots concerned are long-term permanent rentals, and quite frankly I’m not looking forward to a protracted discussion at our AGM in circumstances where at first glance, some of the maintenance for which our O/C is responsible is much more extensive than it would have been if we’d been advised of it earlier.

I’d sooner deal with this woman’s issues in detail after the AGM, and have in fact suggested that approach, but to no avail as she wants her day in the sun!

I have not as yet received a S118 Notification for the Lots involved, so:

1) When I’m establishing the details of those persons who are entitled to vote on the day of our AGM, would it be in order for me to advise this person that she is unable to vote, and;

2) As the executrix, can she submit a proxy from the “Estate of the Late *****” appointing herself?

Thanks in advance for the feedback and advice.
