A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay of one session from the March 2025 live seminar, 29th Annual Advanced Real Estate.
Cosponsored with the Real Property Section of the Virginia State Bar
This presentation will discuss federal and state laws that attorneys practicing property law need to be aware of in evaluating the process and potential challenges associated in transactions with military personnel. It provides an overview of the scale of the military presence in Virginia, and the demands on military life on servicemembers; it reviews and explains important provisions of the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA) as it applies to property law; it identifies unique provisions in Virginia law that provide similar protections in addition to the SCRA for the National Guard and Servicemembers; and it discusses the enforcement of violations of the SCRA.
Laws protecting military personnel have existed since 1918. These laws evolve and adjust with each new conflict to reflect the challenges of providing a ready, able, and focused fighting force to defend the interests of the United States. The laws provide rights and benefits that protect Active Duty personnel, Reservists, National Guard, and in some cases their family members. Collectively these laws address everything from civil service of process to default judgments; interest rates to foreclosures and repossessions; and termination of services for both personal and professional activities of covered personnel. Because of the size and integrated presence of the military Virginia, these laws present a potential minefield for the unaware practitioner.
