Episode 1 Foreclosure Timeline
June 28, 2016 21:07 - 11 minutes - 10.1 MBThank you for your patience as we migrated the Yesner Law Podcast from one platform to the next.

Have foreclosures sped up? Has the new law helped, hurt or had no impact? If you have questions, please...
Episode 19 Mediation
May 05, 2016 21:41 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MBDid you know that there is a difference between a mediation in a foreclosure lawsuit and a mediation in every other type of lawsuit? Unfortunately, the foreclosure mediation process in Florida has become tainted to the point where it is really just an analysis of whether the borrower has produced documents to the lender. There is rarely a decision or agreement that is reached at a foreclosure mediation. While settlement is never guaranteed in mediation, I have never had a foreclosure mediatio...

Episode 17 Running and Networking
April 21, 2016 20:32 - 8 minutes - 11.4 MBIn this week's episode of the podcast, we talk about how I use systems to structure a client's experience with the office, based on lessons I learned while running. In 2014, I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and my sugar levels were dangerously high. Those who know me, know my fear of needles, so it was easy to start a diet and exercise regiment to ward off high cholesterol, high sugar and the results that come with them. I enjoy running 5 and 10k races (and now include swimming laps training f...
Episode 16 Trustee Sales in Bankruptcy
April 14, 2016 20:45 - 11 minutes - 15.3 MBIn this week's episode of the Yesner Law podcast, we discuss a potentially scary issue for people filing bankruptcy. What happens when the debtor's house is upside down, behind in payments, and maybe even in foreclosure, and the homeowner wants to use the bankruptcy to surrender the house? Sometimes, the trustees sell the house to an investor, who then rents the house for cash flow until the bank forecloses. While this may seem unfair, it is proper under the Bankruptcy Code and Rules (at leas...

March 03, 2016 23:12 - 9 minutes - 13.5 MBWhat happens when a creditor charges off a debt? Does the borrower still owe it? Does it report on credit? Can the creditor sue for it?

Episode 11 Interpleader Actions
January 21, 2016 15:06 - 9 minutes - 12.7 MBInterpleader is the type of lawsuit that is filed when a real estate transaction is cancelled and the buyer and seller disagree as to who is at fault, and therefore who should get the good faith deposit held by the title company. The problem is that the title company, even if it is an attorney who represents one party, does not have the authority to determine which party is at fault and which party should keep the deposit. Therefore, the title company files an Interpleader Action and deposits...

Eisode 4 Courthouse Auction
November 11, 2015 20:40 - 6.48 MBForeclosure Auctions in Florida are "buyer beware." If you're interested in buying at a foreclosure auction, due diligence prior to bidding on the property is very important.
