Condo Deconversion & Sale Of All Units

KSN can advise your Association throughout the complex process of the sale of all units in the Association, sometimes commonly referred to as condominium de-conversion or condominium conversion.

As the demand for rental units continues to increase, a new phenomenon has emerged - the sale of all of the units in a condominium building to a third party (ex. developer) who may then “de-convert” the condominiums into apartments.  

With over 30 years of experience providing representation to thousands of associations, KSN is well-equipped to advise on all of the challenging legal factors involved in the sale of all units and/or the Illinois condo de-conversion process.

KSN can provide legal guidance throughout the condo deconversion process by:

• Counseling the Board and Management as to the sale of property process
• Communications with the Board and Management concerning the transaction
• Attendance at meetings with the Board, management, and Owners
• Reviewing the terms in a solicited or unsolicited letter of intent
• Reviewing Real Estate Contract and/or purchase agreement documents
• Advising the Board regarding the provisions outlined in Section 15 of the Illinois Condominium Property Act
• Advising the Board regarding applicable provisions of the Association’s Declaration related to the sale of all units
• Assisting owners in the execution of required sales documents
• Preparation of corporate documents to Obtain Owner Approval including voting documents and notices  
• Preparation of Articles of Dissolution of Corporation
• Addressing current contracts to which the Association is a party
• Limited assistance with the winding up of the affairs of the Association
• Unit Closings
