Alaska Supreme Court
Ralph Guditz v. Lakeside North Condominium Home Owners Association
February 27, 2026
Summary
The court vacated an attorney-fee award to the homeowners association because the superior court failed to require the association to prove which fees were reasonable, necessary, and incurred defending the homeowner’s countersuit rather than the separate foreclosure action. The association’s billing records and affidavits did not satisfy that burden after the homeowner identified specific entries relating to the foreclosure case. The court remanded for further consideration of the appropriate fee award.
