New Bankruptcy & Servicing Standards and Loss Mitigation
Friday, June 5 from 9:00am to 10:30am
Alan S. Wolf, President and Managing Attorney at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “New Bankruptcy & Servicing Standards and Loss Mitigation” which will be held on Friday, June 5 from 9:00am to 10:30am. In this session, Mr. Wolf will be part of a roundtable discussion on the new requirements for signatories created by The National Mortgage Settlement. Those requirements are quickly becoming the new standard for all servicers. This panel will explain the requirements as set forth in the settlement and also discuss the interplay betw een the new requirements and the new rules that became effective in December 2011. Further discussed is how Loss Mitigation and loan modifications have filtered into bankruptcy courts with predictable chaos, confusion, and undetermined success. This panel of industry professionals will help attendees navigate the pitfalls surrounding bankruptcy loss mitigation opportunities, including reaffirmation, Chapters 7 and 13 modifications and HAMP. Session attendees can expect to gain valuable, applicable knowledge and discover the best practices and best solutions to resolve the confusion.
Latest Eviction/ REO Challenges & Title Clearance
Thursday, June 6 from 10:30am to 12:00pm
Kayo Manson-Tompkins, Managing Eviction & Foreclosure Attorney at The Wolf Firm, will be a panelist on the session entitled, “Latest Eviction/REO Challenges & Title Clearance” which will be held on Thursday, June 6 from 10:30am to 12:00pm. In this session, Ms. Manson-Tompkins will be part of a roundtable, interactive discussion, with counsel from multiple jurisdictions, on topics including resolving title, tax, and HOA issues, and closing best practices. Title issues and REO properties have seen a change. Title issues continue to exist post foreclosure. We still see the “usual suspects” such as breaks in the chain of title and description discrepancies. But now, we see title companies calling foreclosure actions into question. Come join this panel as they delve into the newest title issues being raised, what measures can be taken pre foreclosure (if any), and what can be done post foreclosure to get title cleared quickly.

In this session Ms. Fuller Delk, along with the other panelists, will discuss the current pressures faced by mortgage lenders and loan servicers to comply with their oversight entities, the current requirements placed on their counsel and the path to future communication and efficient review between the participants.

Further discussion will cover what to do to ensure you are promptly paid for the work completed. The panel and attendees can share insight on these issues and discuss best practices to ensure that this vital function is performed seemlessly and efficiently.
