SBM Position: Oppose in Principle SB 929 and SB 930.
The State Bar recognizes the current burden being placed on the register
of deeds due to the increase in foreclosures. However, the State Bar has
concerns about eliminating the place of a neutral party in accepting payments
to avoid foreclosure. Because some mortgagors may not want to accept payment,
they may not be obliging.
Real
Property Law Section Position:
Oppose SB 929 and SB 930. Standing Committee on Justice
Initiatives Committee Position: Oppose SB 929 and SB 930.
