SYNOPSIS

This talk examines the nuances and the additional difficulties for lawyers and their staff when doing second and private mortgages. We will examine the context and the business context of such loans and the players involved. We will examine how to handle the tight time frames, the players involved and the limitations in doing full due diligence. And we will discuss the problem in getting proper instructions.  In that regard, we will discuss common errors made when its not the bank’s “paper”.

We will examine the necessity of ILA and discuss the recent issues raised in the Galpin case (the little old lady in West Van who mortgaged her house away) and how to avoid these situations.

We will discuss priority issues as between the existing (or new) first mortgage and the second mortgage. In that regard, we will go over the problems of confirm the first mortgage balances and how to avail your client of the sec. 28 rights to protect the second’s priority over further advances by the first. The recent decision Forjay will be examined and we will show how it has clarified the procedures in giving notice to the first mortgagee of the priority that the second wishes to assert.
