On December 28, 2009, the Supreme Court of Florida approved this recommendation and an Administrative Order was signed. The Order is to be executed in each judicial circuit. The Order, and model mediation forms for use in this new statewide program, can be found by clicking HERE. The Order provides that only Florida Supreme Court-certified mediators trained in residential foreclosures may be assigned to mediate these issues. Given the immense time and cost of this new program, outside help has been sought to coordinate the program in the various judicial circuits.
Florida is a Judicial foreclosure state.
