Foreclosure/eviction moratorium. Governor DeSantis has extended the foreclosure and eviction moratoriums until September 1, 2020. There is some language in the Executive Order beyond simply extension of the date so you might want to read it in its entirety. Here is a link to Executive Order 20-180. https://www.thefund.com/TheFund/media/PDFs/EO-20-180-extension-of-evictions-and-foreclosure-to-9-1-20.pdf We are in the process of reviewing our underwriting guidelines for those of you handling transactions involving a foreclosure or rental property and hope to have those to you very soon. FYI, here is a link to our existing underwriting bulletin. Stay alert for a possible update. https://www.thefund.com/TheFund/media/PDFs/Fund-Alert-CARES-Act-Federal-Foreclosures-7-2-2020.pdf
Affiliate Assembly is scheduled for August 20 and 21st AND it is moving to an online format. You can experience this great event at a special price - and not have to leave your office/home! This is a first for Affiliate Assembly so take advantage of this unique opportunity to offer folks who have never had the chance to attend because of inconvenience or inability to leave the office. In addition, just like with Assembly, attendees can view Affiliate Assembly live on the day it is broadcast, or later on demand. Topics include Probate, FIRPTA, Title Policy Endorsements in Commercial Transactions and (my personal favorite) Remote Online Notarization. Affiliate Assembly Online has been accredited by The Florida Bar, NALA and the Department of Financial Services. Registration is open so visit https://www.thefund.com/affiliateassembly.aspx to learn more.
That's all for this week.
Stay safe!
