3 Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure Applicable Case Law Property Code Drafting Considerations Title Insurance Issues Tax Considerations 2
4 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) Facts: Owner granted deed of trust lien to Lender No vendor s lien Owner later deeded 1/2 minerals to third party Owner then deeded property and all minerals to Lender in lieu of foreclosure 3
5 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) The Texas Supreme Court held that the deed in lieu of foreclosure did not extinguish the intervening legal estate in the 1/2 of the mineral estate created by the prior conveyance to the third party. 4
6 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) The Texas Supreme Court observed: There is no such deed as a deed in lieu of foreclosure. A deed given in satisfaction of a debt may serve as a convenient, efficient transfer of title upon default of a debt. 5
7 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) It would be unfair to allow parties to make private conveyances, although judicially efficient, to the detriment of unknowing parties by foreclosing their right to bid at a trustee s sale; to redeem their interests; to insist on marshalling of assets; or to set forth the affirmative defense of merger or extinguishment of the debt. 6
8 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) The Texas Supreme Court distinguished prior cases holding that a voluntary reconveyance operates as a foreclosure for the mortgage holder and for both junior creditors and intervening purchasers. E.g., Jones v. Ford, 583 S.W.2d 821 (Tex. Civ. App. -- El Paso 1979, writ ref d n.r.e.) 7
9 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988)... [Here the Lender] held a deed of trust mortgage, not a vendor s lien mortgage.... A deed conveying land but coupled with a lien for the unpaid purchase money equates to an executory contract that will ripen into a title in the purchaser when the obligation to pay the purchase money is met. 8
10 Flag-Redfern Oil Co. v. Humble Exploration Co., Inc., 744 S.W.2d 6 (Tex. 1988) Default can lead to rescission of the contract. This can be accomplished through foreclosure, or privately when the vendee executes a deed reconveying the property. But this is not the case here. [The Lender] held only a mortgage. 9
11 Martin v. Uvalde Savings and Loan Assn., 773 S.W.2d 808 (Tex. App. -- San Antonio 1989) Facts: Owners granted deed of trust lien to Lender Following default, owners unilaterally executed deed in lieu of foreclosure to Lender with deed stating conveyance was in satisfaction of debt Lender then foreclosed and brought suit to collect deficiency 10
12 Martin v. Uvalde Savings and Loan Assn., 773 S.W.2d 808 (Tex. App. -- San Antonio 1989) The Court of Appeals held that effective delivery of a deed requires acceptance of the deed by the grantee, either expressly or impliedly (such as by recording of the deed by the grantee). The unilateral deed from the owner/borrower was ineffective. 11
13 Morrison v. Christie, 2008 WL (Tex. App. -- Fort Worth 2008) Facts: After default Owner gave Lender deed in lieu of foreclosure with an agreement that net sales proceeds received by Lender upon resale would be applied to debt Lender then sued for deficiency following sale Owner then asserted that deed in lieu of foreclosure was actually intended as a mortgage requiring formal exercise of power of sale and application of Property Code
14 Morrison v. Christie, 2008 WL (Tex. App. -- Fort Worth 2008) The Court of Appeals stated: [W]e have found no law, and the [Borrowers] have not pointed us to any, that holds that parties cannot agree to partial satisfaction of a debt by conveyance of property. 13
15 Morrison v. Christie, 2008 WL (Tex. App. -- Fort Worth 2008) In response to the borrowers argument that the credit was required to be the fair market value of the property, the Court of Appeals further stated: We have found no law that would prohibit parties from agreeing to the method of payment reflected on the deed-in-lieu
16 Morrison v. Christie, 2008 WL (Tex. App. -- Fort Worth 2008) In response to the borrowers argument that the credit was required to be the fair market value of the property, the Court of Appeals further held that Property Code , providing a right to a credit for the full market value of the property did not apply. In effect allowing the parties to override the statute by contract in a deed-in-lieu transaction. 15
17 Texas Property Code Applies to holder of a debt under a deed of trust who accepts from the debtor a deed of the real property subject to the deed of trust in satisfaction of the debt. Allows the debt holder to void the deed in lieu of foreclosure until the fourth anniversary of the deed in lieu of foreclosure. 16
18 Texas Property Code Requirements for Use of Statute: Debtor fails to disclose a lien or encumbrance on the property before executing the deed in lieu of foreclosure. Lender had no personal knowledge of the undisclosed lien or encumbrance. 17
19 Texas Property Code If Lender elects to void deed in lieu of foreclosure, the priority of the deed of trust is not affected or impaired. After accepting deed in lieu of foreclosure, Lender may still foreclose the deed of trust without voiding the deed in lieu of foreclosure. 18
20 Texas Property Code Joiner v. PACTIV Corp., 2005 WL (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi 2005, pet. denied). Facts: Owner grants deed of trust to Lender Third party records abstract of judgment against Owner Owner executes deed in lieu to Lender Lender acknowledges payment in full and releases lien No disclosure to Lender of abstract of judgment 19
21 Texas Property Code Joiner v. PACTIV Corp., 2005 WL (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi 2005, pet. denied). The Court of Appeals held that Property Code was inapplicable. Lender had personal knowledge of the abstract of judgment because of the constructive notice that resulted from recording of the abstract of judgment. 20
22 Texas Property Code Cameron Life Ins. Co. v. PACTIV Corp., 2007 WL (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi 2007, pet. denied). The Court of Appeals reaffirmed it prior holding in Joiner that Property Code was inapplicable, because the Lender had personal knowledge of the abstract of judgment because of the constructive notice that resulted from recording of the abstract of judgment. 21
23 Texas Property Code Cameron Life Ins. Co. v. PACTIV Corp., 2007 WL (Tex. App. -- Corpus Christi 2007, pet. denied). The Court of Appeals denied equitable subrogation to the Lender s successor, holding that the deed in lieu transaction destroyed the Lender s equitable subrogation rights. When it accepted the deed in lieu the Lender s position became inferior to the abstract of judgment. 22
24 Drafting Considerations Express non-merger language in the deed in lieu of foreclosure. Specify if the debt is fully or only partially discharged. Expressly reserve the right to pursue deficiency if debt is not completely forgiven. Avoid granting debtor any retained rights in property (such as repurchase option) that would give rise to equitable mortgage claim. 23
25 Title Insurance Considerations Mortgagee Policy - Continuation of Coverage The coverage of this policy shall continue in force as of Date of Policy in favor of an Insured after acquisition of the Title by an Insured.., but only so long as the Insured retains an estate or interest in the Land,.... Post-policy claims relating to the subsequent deed in lieu transaction may not be covered. 24
26 Title Insurance Considerations Transamerica Title Ins. Co. v. Alaska Fed. Sav. and Loan Assn., 833 F.2d 775 (9th Cir. 1987) The Court held that the title insurance company had no duty to defend the insured lender against the borrower s claim that the deed-in-lieu transaction created an equitable mortgage because the lender granted the borrower a repurchase option. The Court held that the actions of the lender in structuring the transaction had created the alleged equitable mortgage and the claim was therefore excluded under the policy. 25
27 Title Insurance Considerations As counsel for the lender, advise your client of the limitations on the continuation of coverage under the existing mortgagee s policy and the benefits of obtaining a new owner s policy in connection with the deedin-lieu transaction. 26
28 Tax Considerations Gross income includes gains derived from dealing in property. 26 U.S.C. 61(a)(3). Gross income includes income from discharge of indebtedness. 26 U.S.C. 61(a)(12). 27
29 Tax Considerations The transfer of property by deed in lieu of foreclosure is treated as a sale or exchange for federal income tax purposes. Allen v. Commissioner, 856 F.2d 1169, 1172 (8th Cir. 1988). 28
30 Tax Considerations IRC Section 61(a)(3) applies to the transaction if (1) the borrower is relieved of his obligation to pay the debt, and (2) the borrower is relieved of title to the property. Allen v. Commissioner, 856 F.2d 1169, 1172 (8th Cir. 1988). 29
31 Tax Considerations For federal income tax purposes, the amount realized includes the amount of liabilities from which the transferor is discharged as a result of the transfer. Commissioner v. Tufts, 461 U.S. 300, 306 (1983) 26 U.S.C. 1001(b) 30
32 Tax Considerations For non-recourse debt, the amount realized includes the entire amount of the mortgage on the property. Commissioner v. Tufts, 461 U.S. 300 (1983) Yarbro v. Commissioner, 737 F.2d 479 (5th Cir. 1984) 31
33 Tax Considerations For non-recourse debt, the amount realized includes the entire amount of the mortgage on the property. Commissioner v. Tufts, 461 U.S. 300 (1983) Yarbro v. Commissioner, 737 F.2d 479 (5th Cir. 1984) 32
34 Tax Considerations BASIC DEBT FORGIVENESS TRANSACTION Purchase Price $ 2,000,000 Debt Balance $ 1,900,000 Adjusted Tax Basis $ 1,200,000 Fair Market Value $ 1,500,000 Taxable Gain $ 700,000 33
35 Tax Considerations NO DEBT FORGIVENESS TRANSACTION Purchase Price $ 2,000,000 Debt Balance $ 1,900,000 Adjusted Tax Basis $ 1,200,000 Fair Market Value $ 1,500,000 Taxable Gain $ 300,000 34
36 Tax Considerations 2925 Briarpark, Ltd. v. Commissioner 163 F. 3d 313 (5th Cir. 1999) Debt Forgiven Debtor Lender Third Party Purchaser Arranged sale to third party with simultaneous agreed debt forgiveness 35
