Who May Assign a Deed of Trust, even if MERS has Authority?
by john gault | 2013/06/15

This material touches on numerous topics, including agency, but its primary goal is

to identify the party who may assign a deed of trust, either himself  or who may empower

another, including MERS, to do so.  I also discuss my belief that a deed of trust does not

Kentucky County Recorders File Suit Against MERS, Shareholders - Is Money Due?
by john gault | 2013/01/31

Kentucky county recorders have followed the actions of other states' county recorders and filed suit against MERS and others, including shareholders, for failing to pay statutorily mandated recording fees. The Kentucky case makes at least one salient point not made in other such actions: the defendents have availed themselves of the benefit of recordation, while at the same time avoiding the required fees for assignments. According to the suit, "They have taken advantage of the protections afforded by Kentucky's laws by recording mortgages while at the same time, they have failed to comply with Kentucky law requiring accurate information in mortgage instruments, the recording of assignments for the same mortgages, and the payment of required recording fees for the statutorily required recording of mortgage assignments." The suit also maintains that the members' general averments that MERS is anyone's agent is merely a claim (not a fact in evidence by reason of real property agency laws - sic).

by john gault | 2013/01/08

The Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has announced it's ending the Independent Foreclosure Review, apparently on the basis it's inconclusive. The OCC left the review in the hands of the banks: how was this "independent"? It wasn't , and as such, I hope it wasn't the polity which had to pay for this show-boat exercise in futility.
