Representing bank in an action to recover a $ 14 million deficiency from borrowers and
guarantors following a series of defaults on a
commercial loan portfolio valued at $ 105 million.
If this is the case, the
guarantor has immense leverage to force a buyout of her interest, even if she doesn't have a legal right to do so, because otherwise, she can effectively prevent the
loan from being refinanced and can force the house into foreclosure if she doesn't co-sign a new
loan, since all co-owners need to sign (as a matter of
commercial reality) to get any mortgage
loan.
