Banks, lenders, mortgage companies and servicers face the loss of millions of dollars in properties at real estate tax sales every year. Often for a fraction of their worth, these properties are lost because of failure to respond to notices from county property offices that real estate taxes had not been paid.

Knowing that lenders and servicers often have difficulty finding qualified legal representation, the
Real Estate Tax Sale Law Network has been established to aid lenders and servicers with their tax sale law needs.

Real estate tax sale laws vary widely by state. Recognizing this, RETSL Network, is building a nationwide roster of attorneys and firms accomplished in this legal subspecialty. Through RETSL Network, lenders and servicers will have the convenience of finding an expert in the practice of real estate tax sale law no matter the state.

Our website, retslnetwork.com, will be the hub of the network with attorney listings, recent changes in the law and other useful information.

RETSL Network offers subscription services to lenders, including but not limited to:

• Contesting tax sales
• Review of tax sales for compliance with applicable laws and regulations
• Filing petitions to set aside tax sales or affirmative litigation to overturn tax sales
• Handling quiet title actions for properties involved in tax sales
• Defending lenders in damage actions brought by homeowners or investors
• Clearing title for lenders or buyers
• Bidding at tax sales
• Handling insurance claims with out-sourced escrow agents

Member attorneys of RETSL Network are also available to provide, at no charge, on-site seminars to lenders on the tax sale process and litigation in their respective state. Such training and seminars can be invaluable to prevent the loss of mortgaged properties.
