Consumer Bankruptcy - January 13, 2015

Saving Homes in Bankruptcy

Sponsored by the National Consumer Law Center with the assistance of Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips LLP

Bankruptcy is one of the most effective tools for preventing foreclosure. From the automatic stay to the ability to cure mortgage arrears, bankruptcy can help save homes. But the power of bankruptcy goes beyond these two critical provisions. Any advocate working to preserve homeownership needs to know what bankruptcy can and cannot do for clients in financial distress. We will highlight the various ways in which bankruptcy can help clients keep their homes.


Presenters: Sarah Bolling Mancini and Tara Twomey, National Consumer Law Center

San Francisco-based housing advocacy center, the National Housing Law Project (NHLP), and its project partners, Western Center on Law & Poverty, the National Consumer Law Center, and Tenants Together (the HBOR Collaborative) provide free assistance to California consumer attorneys on the state’s new Homeowner Bill of Rights (HBOR) and other state and federal foreclosure-related laws. The HBOR Collaborative’s free services include education, advocacy, technical assistance, litigation support, a listserv for attorneys, and extensive web-based attorney resources.
