                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

DESIGNATION OF AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE (§ 55.1-1962)

Except as expressly authorized in this chapter or in the condominium instruments
or as otherwise provided by law, no unit owners&#8217; association shall require
any unit owner to execute a formal power of attorney if the unit owner
designates a person licensed under the provisions of § 54.1-2106.1 as the unit
owner&#8217;s authorized representative, and the unit owners&#8217; association
shall recognize such representation without a formal power of attorney, provided
that the unit owners&#8217; association is given a written authorization that
includes the designated representative&#8217;s name, contact information, and
license number and the unit owner&#8217;s signature. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the requirements of § 55.1-1953 and the condominium instruments
shall be satisfied before any such representative may exercise a vote on behalf
of a unit owner as a proxy.
