Overview
Recent court records indicate that lenders are being sued by unhappy borrowers in unprecedented numbers. Every lender, as well as other employees who deal with the loan process in any lending institution - including commercial and mutual banks, S&Ls, other credit agencies, insurance companies, and credit unions - must be able to anticipate, recognize, and avoid costly problems on a daily basis. The Lender Liability Deskbook is a nontechnical, comprehensive, and practical guide to the key topics of concern and offers strategies for minimizing potential dangers. The format and scope of the Deskbook are the result of Edelstein's experience as counsel to loan officers, where he gained an appreciation of the various pressures placed on them by their institutions and borrowers. A vital reference that you will put to use immediately, The Lender Liability Deskbook includes sections covering potential lender liability, how to avoid or minimize exposure to liability, and how to determine and deal with environmental issues; analysis of each theory of potential liability, broken down into easy-to-understand sections with samples of court decisions based on wrongful lender activity; a user-friendly format so readers can find answers quickly and easily; and definitions of legal terms in a comprehensive glossary.There are well over 100,000 lending institutions in the U.S., including commercial and mutual banks, S&Ls, other credit agencies, insurance carriers and credit unions. Every lender, as well as other employees who deal with the loan process in these institutions, will discover how to recognize, anticipate, and avoid costly problems with this reference.
