ABI PUBLISHES BOOK ON REAFFIRMATION
AGREEMENTS
February 6,
size='3'>2009 Alexandria, Va. — The American
Bankruptcy Institute recently released Reaffirmation Agreements in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases to
assist both consumer debtors and practitioners involved in the process
of reaffirming debts. Written by experienced consumer lawyers
Don
Lassman and Dan Austin, this handbook addresses what to
expect under BAPCPA when consumer debtors agree to reaffirm their debts.
Since BAPCPA’s implementation, the process for reaffirmations has
changed significantly. Reaffirmation Agreements in Consumer Bankruptcy Cases
details the relevant Code sections and forms essential to creating a
binding reaffirmation.
