Background
1. 들어가며
부동산PF에서 담보제공방식으로 저당권을 설정하지 않고 담보신탁을 활용하는 경우가 많습니다. 담보신탁을 하게 되면 담보물의 대내외적인 소유권이 수탁자에게 완전하게 이전되므로, 담보물에 대한 예상치 못한 집행을 방지할 수 있고, 채무자에 대한 회생절차가 개시되더라도 우선수익권을 회생절차에 의하지 않고 행사할 수 있는, 소위 '도산절연 효과'가 인정됩니다. 즉, 부동산 담보신탁 계약에서 우선수익자로 지정된 자는 통상 저당권과 유사한 담보권자의 지위를 확보하게 됩니다.

BACKGROUND
According to ASIC insolvency data, there were 2,975 building companies that entered external administration in 2023-24, representing some 27% of all insolvencies.
The collapse of Porter Davis on 31 March 2023, left some 1,700 homeowners across Queensland and Victoria having to deal with the fallout.
These are extremely sobering figures. The reality for homeowners is that they are often left dealing with liquidators without many options and faced with substantial losses.
