Ed, Your situation indeed does sound complex, especially to me, having no legal background. Luckily, you're located in a resource rich area, at least as far as cohousing is concerned. I can't give you any specific recomendations about legal structure, etc, but here are some resources you can check out: ---------------- Rocky Mountain CoHousing Association 1705 14th St #160 Boulder, CO 80302 (303)584-3237 Among other things, the RMCA can provide you with the most recent issue of the Cohousing Journal, which had a very good introductory article to legal structures. ---------------- Zev Paiss Cohousing Consultant with expertise in membership, process, and financing Zpaiss [at] aol.com (303)499-8189 Zev has done some work for our group and we've been very happy with his work. ---------------- Bill Love Real Estate Attorney 225 Canyon Blvd Boulder, CO 80302 (303)-449-4400 Bill has been involved in the legal structring of 4 cohousing communites in Colorado that I know of. ---------------- I hope this info is useful. Good luck with your community.
