A new Illinois law will close a loophole through which some mortgages could be subject to avoidance in bankruptcy.  The loophole, created by U.S. Bankruptcy Court’s (C.D. Illinois) 2012 In re Crane opinion, allowed a bankruptcy trustee to avoid a mortgage under 11 U.S.C. § 544(a)(3) unless it contained, among other provisions: 1) the amount owed, 2) the debt’s maturity date and 3) the underlying interest rate.
