Series 3 Curriculum

Module 1

Just When You Thought It Was Over – Post-Sale Administration

Although you might think that the foreclosure action concludes with the public sale of the property, you still must navigate through the post-sale process once the foreclosure sale occurs. There are a myriad of twists and turns in this process, including sale issues, remaining rights the borrower may still retain, and confirming or ratifying the sale itself. This session will discuss these issues and how to overcome the challenges they present to maintain a smooth transition from foreclosure sale to REO.

Module 3

Audits/Objections – We Messed Up. What Now?

After a foreclosure sale takes place, instances exist where a rescission of the sale is necessary due to information that was unavailable prior to the sale. However, rescission depends on several factors. If the property sold third-party, the question becomes whether a lender can unilaterally rescind a sale or if cooperation from the Third-Party Purchaser is needed. Where a Third-Party Purchaser is unwilling to rescind a sale, then the lenders/servicers, with the help of counsel, must weigh the risks of potential litigation with the borrower or the third-party purchaser.

Module 4

Financial Audits – Where the Tires Truly Meet the Road!

In the post-mortgage crisis environment, client oversight has evolved to a level where each step in the “cradle to grave” processing of a defaulted loan is verifiable and confirmable. The financial component is among the most important to both clients and firms. The fact that charges associated with a foreclosure matter impact the borrowers creates a high level of expectation for accuracy and compliance with client process.
