Explore caselaw by topic → Browse Standing To Foreclose cases and more on FLexlaw
U.S. Bank National Association filed its foreclosure complaint against appellant on March 23, 2009. Appellant’s answer and affirmative defenses raised, among other things, the issue of standing. At the 2013 trial, the Bank’s witness could not say what entity owned or held the note and mortgage in March 2009. Although the Bank proved that it acquired the note at some time, it did not prove at trial that it had standing at the time the complaint was filed. See Bristol v. Wells Fargo, Nat’l Ass’n, 137 So.3d 1130, 1132 (Fla. 4th DCA 2014); McLean v. JP Morgan Chase Bank Nat’l Ass’n, 79 So.3d 170, 173 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012). We therefore reverse the final judgment of foreclosure and remand for the entry of a final judgment for appellant, the defendant below.
