Collateral value is the foundation of all lending transactions, but even the most traditional valuation techniques require a blend of art science and require debtors and practitioners to incorporate their judgment. Where is the line between reasonable judgment and gaming the system to arrive at a valuation that skews the fact pattern to one party’s favor? This webinar presents practice pointers on how to use the ABA Model Rules as a guide to navigating ethical issues in real estate valuation. Model Rules addressed may include those that govern the client-lawyer relationship (Rule 1.1 through 1.3); those that speak to the need for candor toward the tribunal and fairness to an opposing party and counsel (Rule 3.3 through 3.4); and the necessity for truthfulness in statements to others and issues surrounding unrepresented persons (i.e. Rule 4.1 through 4.3).
