SB 458 - Protects short sale sellers

By -
From Ellen Corbett's office:

SB 458
<http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/cgi-bin/postquery?bill_number=sb_458&sess=CUR&hou
se=B&author=corbett> , reflects the hardships that many homeowners have
encountered in the housing crisis. Faced with foreclosures or short sales,
thousands have been plunged into financial peril while trying to protect
their assets from unscrupulous lenders.

In the event of a short sale, SB 458 now protects borrowers by preserving
their "anti-deficiency" protection in all loans on a home, not simply the
first mortgage. The legislation only applies to residential loans, not
business loans.

So, when homeowners enter into short sales, all loans on the home are
protected against deficiency judgments. That means the banks can't come
after them for what they owe on loans but could not get back in the sale of
the property.

  it's definitely worth being concerned about encroachments, especially in situations where someone is using a small portion of their neighbor's property without permission. Even if the neighbor is currently okay with it, there's no guarantee that they'll continue to be permissive in the future. It's definitely a problem that needs to be addressed prior to close of escrow. This is where property easements come into play, as they provide legal permission for someone to use a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose. It's important to understand the details of any easements that may be relevant to your situation, as they can impact your rights and obligations as a...
