Dealing with Residential Foreclosures (2009)

This timely program not only addresses the foreclosure process and the latest rules under which borrowers and lenders operate, but also the foreclosure defenses and remedies from the borrowers’ standpoint.  Recent developments addressed by Congress and the New York Legislature have given the practitioner new procedures to follow in representing the borrower in the foreclosure process as well as arming the borrower with more rights to protect the property.  The mandatory settlement conference and the availability of non-lawyer counselors are but two of the new features in this foreclosure environment that are covered in this program. 
An expert faculty provides an overview of recent legislation along with recent court cases and discusses how the recent developments may affect the borrowers’ ability to negotiate short sales, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, forbearance agreements, and other settlement tactics.

Recordings of the Albany and New York City presentations are available.
