BANK TAKES WRONG PROPERTY? | Foreclosure Law

Booth & Cook just recently resolved an issue where a homeowner learned that The Federal National Mortgage Association took title to her property……however, it was a mistake.  Toward the latter part of 2013, our client was curious as to why she had not yet received her Property Tax Notice, when she contacted the Pasco County Property Appraiser’s Office; she was informed that the Property Tax Notice was delivered to the new owner, Federal National Mortgage Association.

This prompted her to contact our lawyers.

We soon discovered that the Federal National Mortgage Association had filed and concluded a mortgage foreclosure on the property next to hers; however, they used an old legal description in the foreclosure action that included her property. The attorneys at Booth & Cook went to work quickly and were able to re-open the old foreclosure case and present the necessary documents and arguments to the Circuit Court Judge, which found in our client’s favor and awarded her the property back. Due to the lawyers at Booth & Cook having a command on real estate law and litigation procedures, we were able to put the property back in the hands of the rightful owner.

Booth & Cook has attorneys that focus their practice in foreclosure law, real estate law, and land use and zoning law.
