One of BAPCPA’s prime targets was the abuse of state homestead exemptions. In the eyes of Congress and the media, too many wealthy individuals had evaded creditors by shielding assets in the form of multi-million dollar estates in Florida, Texas, and other states with favorable homestead exemptions.

Now the magic numbers are $125,000 (in homestead value) and 1,215 (days prior to bankruptcy filing). Are these new limits working? Have fresh loopholes been found? How are the courts interpreting the newly created 11 U.S.C. §522(p) in individual Chapter 11 cases?

On this Audio CD (recorded August 2006), one of the nation’s top authorities on homestead exemptions – Scott M. Grossman of Greenberg Traurig, P.A. – explains the changes to state homestead exemptions and updates you on today’s legal landscape. In just 90 minutes, you and an unlimited number of your staff will discover –

· Examples of notorious cases of homestead abuses
· BAPCPA provisions for curbing these abuses – their original intent and practical application today
· Why these changes are important even in states without generous exemptions
· The two categories of exemptions – compare modest federal exemptions vs. certain broad state exemptions
· BAPCPA’s new 730-day domicile requirement
· Limitations on homestead exemptions resulting from fraudulent asset conversions
· Illustrative examples comparing the old law to the new
· Additional homestead limitation for bad acts
· Problems encountered applying the new 11 U.S.C. §522(p)
· Problems with statutory construction of the amendments
· Summary of key cases you should know and monitor
