Northwest Herald - Local News and Video for McHenry County, Illinois - Hilton’s authority questioned
Here's more neighborhood intrigue dug up by Fred Pilot, this one just down the road from me in McHenry County. I have no data except what I have seen, but I think dissolution of HOAs and other nonprofits happens reasonably often because of the way the Secretary of State operates. As the attorney quoted farther down says, they dissolve the corporation if you fail to file the annual report or don't pay your fees, or just fail to sign the form. They reinstate you if you correct the errors and pay a fee, and then you have to re-record your forms with the county recorder.

WONDER LAKE – Dick Hilton laughed as he saw someone post a sign stating, “Fraud: Remove Hilton Today,” near the Master Property Owners Association office in Wonder Lake. Hilton, president of the MPOA, said he knew before the organization’s meeting Wednesday that efforts to remove him from his position would fail. The validity of whether Hilton should be president of the MPOA recently came into question after it was discovered that he was the director of an involuntarily dissolved property owners association named Wooded Shores Property Owners Association Inc. Only an association director is allowed to be the president of the MPOA. Wooded Shores Property Owners Association Inc. was dissolved for unknown reasons by the secretary of state in September 2002, MPOA attorney Dean Krone said.
