Judge agrees to LandAmerica mediation plan
May 15, 2009 (Richmond Times-Dispatch - McClatchy-Tribune Information Services via COMTEX) -- LandAmerica Financial Group Inc. and a subsidiary are heading to mediation over a $68.2 million claim made in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Richmond.
So, too, are four test-case plaintiffs that filed complaints against subsidiary LandAmerica 1031 Exchange Services Inc.
Judge Kevin R. Huennekens agreed to a mediation plan yesterday, nearly six months after both companies filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.
The hope is that mediation will help build consensus and avoid further litigation that could be costly and take up more time, said Rachel C. Strickland, a New York attorney representing LandAmerica.
"I think this case is just screaming out for this kind of mediation," Huennekens said.
In mediation, a bankruptcy judge of Huennekens' choosing will first take on a claim that the Henrico County-based LandAmerica filed against the exchange company.
The parent company gave a total of $65 million in loans to help the exchange company cover operating costs when investments in auction-rate securities became illiquid.
The hope is to have that claim solved by September.
The second phase of the mediation will be more complicated because it involves cases filed against the exchange company.
The Internal Revenue Service allows investors to defer capital gains taxes on the sale of an investment property so long as they place it with a third party and then reinvest the money within a certain time period.
The process is known as a like-kind exchange, or a 1031 exchange, which refers to the IRS code authorizing the tax deferral.
At the time of the bankruptcy, the exchange company owed $419.2 million to more than 450 customers. More than 85 exchange customers filed complaints alleging the money belonged to them and not the estate. Fraud and damages claims also were lodged.
Huennekens ordered test cases be tried to provide guidance as to how exchange claims should be handled. He ruled last week that the money belongs to LandAmerica's exchange company and not its customers.
The mediation will discuss how those cases are handled and what damages may be awarded, in order to avoid more litigation.
The mediation rulings are not binding and must be approved by Huennekens.
In other court news:
--Huennekens approved more than $12.5 million in interim compensation to cover attorney and other fees related to the case.
--A request to appeal an earlier ruling to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals over whether exchange customer money belongs to the estate was continued because of the impending mediation process.
A hearing on two sale auctions of six LandAmerica subsidiaries was postponed until Thursday.
Fidelity bought LoanCare for 16.3 million dollars if anyone didnt know.
* To buy LoanCare Servicing for $16.3 mln
* Third buy from bankrupt LandAmerica
May 14 (Reuters) - Title Insurer Fidelity National Financial Inc (FNF.N) said it will buy LoanCare Servicing Center Inc for $16.3 million, its third acquisition from bankrupt LandAmerica Financial Group Inc (LFGRQ.PK). LoanCare, a provider of national loan subservicing services, has been a wholly owned subsidiary of LandAmerica, which filed for bankruptcy in November after bigger rival Fidelity National withdrew a $126 million takeover offer.
Jacksonville, Florida-based Fidelity National bought three title insurers in December, two of which were LandAmerica's Commonwealth Land Title Insurance Co and Lawyers Title Insurance Corp.
The acquisition is subject to approval of the court overseeing the LandAmerica Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings.
Shares of Fidelity National closed at $15.39 Thursday on the New York Stock Exchange. (Reporting by Amiteshwar Singh in Bangalore; Editing by Anil D'Silva)

Butler Burgher Group Completes Successful Management Buyout of LandAmerica Valuation
Buyout returns Diane Butler, former managing principal of Butler Burgher Inc., to the helm of mainstay appraisal and real estate services firm
DALLAS, May 13 /PRNewswire/ -- Butler Burgher Group Real Estate Services (BBG), a newly incorporated real estate services firm spearheaded by industry leader Diane Butler, has successfully completed a management buyout of LandAmerica Valuation Services. The new real estate services firm will operate under the Butler Burgher name, which Butler used prior to the LandAmerica purchase in early 2007. The new ownership brings together three separate valuation services firms and consists of Butler, several senior managers from LandAmerica (Mary Ann Barnett, Bill Britain, Susan Kominski and Chris Roach) and the two former principals of Houston-based Aaron & Wright. The acquisition dissolves any financial ties to LandAmerica Inc., and the firm will operate offices in Dallas; Houston; Austin; Atlanta; Orange County, Calif.; New York; Tampa Bay; and Salt Lake City.
"We're glad to be back in private hands," says Butler. "The change in ownership structure ensures that BBG Real Estate Services will have a sole focus on providing quality and timely valuation and cost segregation services to our clients. We're not missing a beat, and the service to our customers will be better than ever."
In addition to Butler, other members of the senior management team include Chief Financial Officer William Britain, Mary Ann Barnett, Ronald Owens and Chris Roach of the Dallas office, Susan Kominski in New York, Martin Aaron and John Wright in Houston, John Cherry and Warren Kitchens in Atlanta, and Kyle Llewellen in Austin.
"We've put together one of the most experienced team of professionals in the real estate services industry," says Butler. "Our management team, coupled with more than 300 appraisers located throughout the United States, can perform commercial valuations of any size and scope. From single-asset appraisals, to nationwide portfolio assignments, BBG can perform each to specific client requirements."
Under the new ownership structure, BBG Real Estate Services will continue its leadership role in the valuation services industry. In 2008, as LandAmerica Valuation Services, the company appraised properties with a total valuation of approximately $10 billion. BBG has broad experience in numerous valuation services, including agency and HUD valuation, as well as other types of commercial valuation, due diligence consulting and market studies.
That is in the LES balance sheet, not the LFG balance sheet.
