July 2001
SCOPE AND PURPOSE
In 2001 most of Indiana's 92 counties will be conducting tax sales from August
1st to October 31st. This seminar is designed to assist attorneys, real estate
brokers, title insurance agents and others in all aspects of purchasing at these
tax sales or assisting clients in such purchases, from obtaining the tax sale
certificate, to quieting title of the purchased property and getting a valid
tax sale deed.
This course is taught by faculty who have dealt extensively with the Indiana tax sale and who have both practical and legal experience in dealing with issues that arise in this area.
This course is developed against a background of applicable law using real-life examples to demonstrate issues which should be addressed when involved in the Indiana tax sale. The seminar will provide ample opportunity for registrants to participate in a question and answer period.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND
Attorneys should attend to learn the proper procedures for handling tax sale
purchases for their clients. It is very important to understand the noticing
requirements and the need to quiet title to the property. Attorneys should also
be equipped to handle litigation which often arises in conjunction with tax
sale purchases.
Mortgage bankers, brokers and those who service mortgage loans should attend because more than 50% of all claims to title companies arise out of foreclosures and title transactions which involve tax sales. Therefore, it is important to have an understanding of the tax sale and how to handle such problems when they arise.
Realtors, real estate agents, brokers and investors should attend since many times a piece of property has been sold for taxes and a certificate has been issued without the consent or knowledge of the owner of the mortgagee. Knowledge of how to handle such a situation is crucial to save a sale and commission.
