It's the day that every financial institution employee dreads - the day you receive notice that your customer has filed bankruptcy. What do you do? This webcast seminar explains the actions that the financial institution must take to protect the financial institution's interests and the actions that the financial institution is prohibited from taking. We will examine the steps (and pitfalls) that financial institution employees should be aware of with respect to Chapters 7, 11 and 13 of the Bankruptcy Code. This webcast seminar will focus on the basics, but it will also serve as a good refresher for those who are familiar with the bankruptcy process.

Covered Topics:

  • What is a bankruptcy notice and what should you do with it?
  • What is the automatic stay and what does it prohibit?
  • What happens at a Section 341 hearing?
  • When is the financial institution required to file a proof of claim?
  • Are reaffirmation agreements a good idea?
  • What do the terms "preference" and "fraudulent transfer" mean?
  • What can the financial institution do after the debtor is discharged?

Who Should Attend?
