Partner | DeWitt LLPDo Bankruptcy Filings Affect State and Federal Tax Liens? What Lawyers Need to Know | Live CLE Bankruptcy Law Webinar
Broadcast Date: Tuesday, July 7, 2026, from 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET) | On-Demand Available 24 Hours Later
Bankruptcy filings can significantly impact the treatment and enforcement of state and federal tax liens, particularly when those liens attach to real property. While bankruptcy may provide relief for underlying tax obligations, tax liens often survive discharge and continue to encumber property, creating ongoing risk for lenders, title insurers, and other secured parties.
In this CLE webinar, Kevin Dunlevy of DeWitt LLP provides a practical overview of how bankruptcy affects tax lien enforcement and priority. The session focuses on how tax liens are treated during bankruptcy, the effect of the automatic stay, the distinction between discharge of tax debt and survival of liens, and the post-bankruptcy enforceability of secured tax claims. Attendees will also examine common disputes involving real property, foreclosure, and title issues arising from layered lien structures.
What You Will Learn in this Webinar:
- Bankruptcy treatment of state and federal tax liens on real property
- Survival of tax liens after discharge of tax obligations
- Effect of the automatic stay on tax enforcement actions
- Priority disputes between tax liens and secured creditors
- Post-bankruptcy enforcement of surviving tax liens
