ABI-Live: Escrow 101-103 and COVID's Impact on Its Treatment in Bankruptcy Cases
Hosted by ABI's Consumer Bankruptcy Committee
With the climate of COVID-19 in the rearview mirror, the consumer bankruptcy process now largely resembles the normalcy that had been elusive during the pandemic. However, remnants of COVID legislation have influenced escrow accounts of consumer debtors and consequently impacted mortgage creditor proofs of claim. Starting with Regulation X and how to perform an escrow analysis, this presentation will discuss escrow and proofs of claim, post-petition escrow accounting (payment change notices under Bankruptcy Rule 3002.1(b)), and the effects of the CARES Act on the treatment of escrow in chapter 13 proceedings.
