Dear Members, the best way to avoid this conflict is to file a motion w/o
hearing to allow debtors to enter into loan modification talks with the
lender. I've never had a judge deny that motion. It also alerts and
avoids any potential conflict with the Trustee later on.

Dear Members:
I witness in court one of our esteemed bankruptcy court judges
contemplating referral to discipline an attorney who submitted a Mortgage
Declaration attesting that his client was making mortgage payments while at
what I suspect the same time the attorney was working with the Debtor on
loan modification application. How can you submit a declaration to the
Court that your client is paying mortgage payments while you know they are
working on loan modification and not submitting payments. Of course this
is misconduct for the attorney to submit same while working on loan
modification and that attorney has good reason to know that the client is
not in fact making any payments.
Now I can see how in a busy practice, where an innocent attorney working
with paralegals or other staff would have clients sign mortgage declaration
and having other staff working on a loan modification, and that the client
just signs whatever the attorney puts in front without reading because they
trust the attorney that they are supposed to sign. I can see that is
probably how these circumstances came to pass. But I am letting you know
what I saw so that you all can put the proper checks and balances in place
to make sure your clients are not signing mortgage declarations with the
left hand and then submitting a loan modification and not making payments
with the right hand.
That's all for now. Hopefully this was helpful to some people out there.
