Objektübernahme in der WEG – wer darf was, wann und wie?

In the new episode of "MANAGEMENT4U," Massimo Füllbeck and Cathrin Fuhrländer discuss the handover of property during a change of property manager in condominium association (WEG) management. The focus is on who is authorized to do what and when, and how typical points of contention between the outgoing and incoming property managers can be resolved legally and pragmatically. Among other topics, the following are covered: acceptance of the appointment of a property manager when there is a long gap before the start of their term, proof of authorization with banks, and when the new property manager is entitled to request documents. Furthermore, the episode addresses a structured handover process, the handling of digital and original documents, and the fact that the release of documents is often the responsibility of the recipient. Key topics of the episode: • Acceptance of the appointment of a property manager: What applies when there is a long gap between the appointment and the start of their term? Why acceptance is often implied and why binding periods in the offer can be useful. • Legitimacy with banks: Why banks react differently, what really matters legally, and when even the German Federal Financial Supervisory Authority (BaFin) might get involved. • Documents and access rights: From what point in time can the new property manager request which documents, and what do they need for a smooth start? • Obligations of the outgoing property manager: What handover steps can be expected, and how does structure help reduce conflicts? • Volume of documents and digitization: Digital files vs. originals – what can be transferred digitally or destroyed, and what must remain in original form? • Tasks of the incoming property manager: Reviewing documents, requesting missing information, setting deadlines, and actively managing the transition. • Obligation to collect documents: Why the new property manager must always collect documents from the previous manager – even if they live far away. This issue provides a clear practical guide for everyone who wants to manage property handovers in condominium owners' associations (WEGs) smoothly, efficiently, and with minimal conflict – and shows how good preparation, clear roles, and realistic communication save time, money, and stress.
