The primary focus of this committee is to review, discuss, disseminate and
consider information concerning current trends in the areas of mortgage and
other secured real estate financing, including matters presented by the members of
this committee. The committee usually meets 3 times each year for such
purpose and the meetings include a review and discussion of pending litigation, new
case law, pending legislation, and other matters relating to real estate
financing, including bankruptcy, environmental, insurance, and landlord/tenant
issues. In an effort to create an interactive and interesting meeting, a topic is
preselected for a presentation by a real estate professional. Members are asked
to review and comment on these items, to propose and participate in the
drafting of legislation and to occasionally participate in the preparation and
filing of amicus briefs on matters relating to mortgages, land contracts, and other
security devices. In addition, members are requested to speak at various State
Bar functions and prepare articles for the Michigan Real Property Review. The
Committee is open to anyone with an interest in this area.
