What is the role of a managing agent? http://wagnerdavis.com/faq/q-what-is-the-role-of-a-managing-agent/ http://wagnerdavis.com/faq/q-what-is-the-role-of-a-managing-agent/#comments Tue, 07 Feb 2006 17:45:26 +0000 karl FAQ http://wagnerdavis.com/stage/?p=11 A. It is the managing agent’s responsibility to act as a board’s representative and liaison to the shareholders and unit owners. The agent, as a fiduciary, is subject to duty to act in good faith and so as not to bring “disrepute” upon the corporation and the board of the tenants. Fiduciary duty further obligates a managing agent to act solely for the benefit of the corporation. Any profits made in connection with a transaction conducted on behalf of a corporation must be given to the corporation.

Directors and Officers Insurance protects directors and officers of co-op and condos from personal liability against claims of breach of fiduciary duty, bad faith acts, misconduct or negligence, and cover acts that were properly performed while the board members and officers are acting in such capacity.

The policies do not protect officers or directors if they are guilty of breach of fiduciary duty, bad faith acts or misconduct.
