    Georgia is among the few states where the foreclosure process is concluded within a shortest time. This is because the borrower gives the title of the property to the lender through a deed or a trust. The lender owns the property until the borrower pays he debt. If the borrower fails to pay, the lender can declare the deed in order to secure the debt. The reason for the short foreclosure time is that a court order is not required and the backlog of cases that exist in the courts does not delay the process. Foreclosure laws in Georgia provide that lenders may foreclose trusts or deeds using judicial or non-judicial foreclosure processes. The judicial foreclosure process involves filing a lawsuit and obtaining a court order to foreclose. This…

    According to the fact of this case, Parent Co. (Parent) wholly owns Poor Son Co. (Poor Son) as a legal subsidiary, and both of them all nonpublic companies. However, in January 2007 Poor Son filed a voluntary bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. bankruptcy code because of its inability of meet obligations as they became due. Then, Parent claimed the loss of control of Poor Son and deconsolidated Poor Son from its financial statement. Through the bidding process in May 2009, Poor Son and OtherCo, the winning sponsor, filed a joint plan of reorganization to the bankruptcy court, but the plan was rescinded by OtherCo later due to significant market value shrink of Poor Son. After that, the bankruptcy court reopened the bidding process and recommended Parent’s plan of reorganization in August 2010. Finally, Parent received final confirmation of Poor Son’s plan.…

    While typing the closing documents, a secretary working on “Amendment No. 1 to the First Preferred Ship Mortgage” wrongly typed Prudential’s first mortgage as “$92,855.00” instead of “$92,885,000.00”. This was not noticed by any one. But when United States Lines defaulted on the notes secured by the amended mortgage, Prudential tried to foreclose its $92,885,000 first mortgage. USL’s bankruptcy trustee objected, arguing that the mortgage should be limited to $92,885 as typed in the amendment 1. GECC held USL notes secured by a second mortgage. GECC brought suit for a declaration that Prudential’s first mortgage was valid only for $92,855. Both in the Southern District of New York and on appeal to the Second Circuit, GECC lost.…
