Committee on Attorney Opinion Letters
Did you
ever sign a mortgage enforceability opinion?
Did you ever think about your potential liability for giving the
opinion? Or wonder how to qualify your
opinion or what opinions are “market”?
The members of this Committee consider these issues and more. The Committee has co-authored a form of model
mortgage opinion with commentary giving practitioners an excellent education in
opinion giving for simple mortgages. The
Committee currently is considering revising and modernizing the model form of
opinion. If you want a sounding board
for opinion-related questions or issues, or if you would like to participate in
revising the model opinion form, then join this Committee.
