Foreclosure Law in Colorado: Post Pandemic Out of Stock
Co-Sponsored by the Colorado Bar Association Real Estate Section
Quantity
Learn Colorado’s unique public trustee foreclosure process that employs the expedited Rule 120 judicial proceeding. Each Colorado county has a designated public trustee who facilitates foreclosures, which make up most real property foreclosures in Colorado, and are generally seen as less complicated, less expensive, and less time-consuming than traditional judicial foreclosures. This discussion will include detailed information about updates to Rule 120, its application, judicial foreclosure alternatives, deeds in lieu of foreclosure, and workout agreements. Additional topics include receiverships and the impact of bankruptcy as well as federal regulations on foreclosures.
Home studies will be available approximately 2-3 weeks following the live program.

Federal Regulatory Issues in Foreclosure
The Servicemembers’ Civil Relief Act must be complied with in any foreclosure, public trustee or judicial, brought against a defined servicemember. The Fair Debt Collections Practices Act (both the Federal Act and the Colorado corollary) impact certain attorneys that fall within the definition of a debt collector. Finally, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau mortgage servicing rules impact mortgage servicers, but it is helpful for attorneys that represent servicers and borrowers to be familiar with the CFPB rules.
