What happens to a mortgage when the debtor files Chapter 7, 11, or 13 bankruptcy?

You've heard that a Chapter 13 debtor cannot "cram down" a mortgage -- so why is it that some lenders lose tens of thousands of dollars because the court decides the property is not worth what is owed on it?

What could many of those lenders have done to stop it?

Must a Chapter 13 debtor make mortgage payments during the bankruptcy? What are your options if the debtor doesn't?

Do you lose a judgment lien when a debtor receives a discharge in Chapter 7 bankruptcy? What about Chapter 13?


One of the "hot" issues in Chapter 13 bankruptcy has to do with the lender's right to add insurance premiums or attorneys fees to a loan, or to change the interest rate on a variable rate loan, during bankruptcy. Do you know the rules?

What about Chapter 7 and 11 bankruptcy? What happens to liens? What are the lender's options if the debtor doesn't make payments during the bankruptcy?

During this approximately 90-minute program, attorney Eric North will talk with participants about —

 

"Eric makes what would ordinarly be dry material interesting, with his stories and animated delivery style."

"Eric always does a fabulous job of boiling down a very complex subject into understandable bits."

Whether there is any practical reason to ask for reaffirmation of real property loans in Chapter 7 bankruptcy.
Whether you may modify a real property loan during or after bankruptcy.
What a "Motion to Void Lien" is and how your rights may be drastically altered if you do not respond promptly and properly to it.
When you are entitled to relief from the automatic stay to enforce a real property loan, and when you are requred to sit back and wait.
What many courts require lenders to do if they add fees or costs or change the rate of interest during a Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

and much more!
