The 6th Circuit and the 2nd District Court of Appeal of Florida are leading the nation in efforts to bring practical solutions to the foreclosure crisis. The problems with the current foreclosure system are exhibited in the recent appellate court decisions, particularly BAC Funding and Verizzo. This seminar will provide an opportunity to hear practical solutions regarding systemic problems attorneys and realtors face with property in foreclosure and/or later bankruptcy.

Bankruptcy and real estate attorneys and realtors working with clients in foreclosure or who have filed bankruptcy will hear from the experts how these actions affect one's credit, future buying power and other issues. Attendees will learn how court-ordered foreclosure mediation will affect their practice and who qualifies for the program.
