Assessing Critical Changes Over The Past Two Years
Two recent major changes will be assessed with discussion of how trustees go forward with respect to each topic. First, SB 900 has made utilization of the nonjudicial foreclosure process riskier for lenders, servicers and trustees in California. One year after implementation, servicers and trustees must assess the benefits and risks associated with alternatives to nonjudicial foreclosure, including deeds in lieu, title considerations and utilizing the bankruptcy plan process as a shield to claims. Second, in Nevada, two years after AB 284, NOD filings have been virtually halted. How are trustees doing business now in Nevada?

Davis-Stirling Re-Write: Are You Ready?
The goal of this Roundtable session is to familiarize HOA trustees with the rewritten Davis-Stirling Act. The new law takes effect on January 1, 2014, so it is important that trustees quickly become conversant in the following areas:
- The revised structure of the new Act
- Important substantive changes
- Operational impacts
- The effect of seemingly minor wording changes on the applicability of the recent Diamond decision
Trustees may take part in the discussion and pose questions to other participants, or just sit back and listen.
