An investigation into a foreclosure defense will include tracing the rights to a mortgage and its underlying promissory note. MERS is very careful to only execute assignments of mortgages and not of notes. I’ve never seen it assign a note, and I’m reliably informed that MERS’ bylaws prohibit it from owning rights to a note.

Foreclosure defense requires tracing the rights to a mortgage to make sure that the foreclosing party has the right to foreclose. It also requires tracing rights to the payment obligation represented by the underlying promissory note, to insure that the foreclosing party is actually owed the money.

You select an attorney the same way you make any other important decisions. Ask questions, lots and lots of questions. How many cases have you worked on? What were the outcomes? How long have you been working in the specific [...]

As a Florida foreclosure defense attorney who personally meets with 25 new distressed homeowners every week, I am often the second lawyer consulted about the foreclosure.

There are realistic hopes with foreclosure litigation. It can stall a foreclosure and lead to an affordable resolution.
There are also unrealistic hopes. A deceptive adjustable rate mortgage doesn’t hurt you if you can’t pay the original payment. An unenforceable retroactive assignment probably won’t help you if your foreclosure begins after the date of the assignment. [...]

As a foreclosure defense attorney, I am often asked about the difference between a note and mortgage in the context of a foreclosure. If you think back to the day you closed on your home loan, you can probably recall signing a bunch of papers, none of which you read or understood. That’s pretty common.
