The governing documents detail how the HOA collects unpaid monies due from unit owners. The association's counsel is the best source of advice about how and whom to pursue in the case involving a deceased person. If the HOA wants to pursue a deceased person for other than monies owed, again, the association's counsel is the best source of advice.
