In two separate cases the Nevada Supreme Court has upheld the validity of a mortgage assignment from MERS and rejected borrowers arguments that use of MERS somehow invalidates a foreclosure. In both Davis v. US Bank, Nat. Ass’n, No. 56306, and Volkes v. BAC Home Loans Servicing, LP, No. 57304, the Court rejected the contention that a MERS-generated assignment is insufficient to establish the ownership of a loan. The appellants argued that the assignment was invalid solely because it was generated by MERS and that MERS is a sham or fraud entity. The Court specifically rejected this argument, citing numerous opinions from courts in Nevada and across that nation that have recognized MERS as having a legitimate business purpose.

I have spent most of my professional life helping people who were being taken advantage of by systems they did not fully understand. As an attorney, I represented consumers against predatory lending practices and worked in elder law protecting seniors from fraud. My family lost $239,145 to identity theft, which became the foundation for my seniorgard.onlime and deepened my commitment to financial education. Since 2008, I have maintained a blog at timothymccandless.wordpress.com providing free financial education. Not behind a paywall. Free, because financial literacy should not cost money. I trade with real money using the exact strategy described in this book. My current positions: Pfizer at $16,480 deployed generating $77,900 per year net. Verizon at $29,260 deployed generating $51,000 per year net. Combined: 293% annualized pace. These are my only active positions. Not cherry-picked.
