When a Parcel is held in trust, grantors, trustees and beneficiaries of the trust (provided that the beneficiaries occupies the Parcel), and the spouses of such persons, shall be eligible for Board membership. If a grantor, trustee or beneficiary of a trust, or the spouse of such person, seeks candidacy and such person is not identified on the deed to the Parcel as the grantor, trustee or beneficiary of the trust, a copy of the trust document, affidavit of trust or abstract of trust prepared by a licensed attorney must be provided to the Master Association at least thirty-five (35) days prior to the date of the annual meeting. The trust document can be redacted to keep financial information confidential; however, the document must clearly indicate the grantor, trustee and the beneficiaries of the trust. No two (2) individuals from the same Parcel shall be eligible to serve on the Board at the same time, unless they own more than one (1) Parcel, in which case eligibility is limited to one (1) Director per Parcel.
