In 2005 we acquired a mortgage on the adjoining property to our home
In 2005 We acquired a mortgage on the ajoing property to our home. They sent over a notery to do the closing. The page the states the collateral for the loan was blank. The Notery called the Mortgage lender and was told to add a addemdem sheet to the closing papers.
It stated that the loan was contingent upon it being on the adjoing property and not the home. All this information was using parcels and lot numbers. Signed by 4 people at the closing.
My wife and I paid the note for about 6 months, later we chose to take out a small loan on our house only to find the addemden was never recorded and the blank sheet now stated the house and the adjoing lot. Also the recording of the papers was done about 6 to 8 monthes after the closing date...
We attempted to get this corected but the mortgage company sold the note to another.
We it's now 7 years later and the note servicer is, as the several companys that were servicing the note before them trying to foreclose. They are stating to redue the loan, But are stating we need to add the house as well.
On the loan we took they said we would need to buy donw the loan because our loan to value was to high. So we did that at a expence of 30,000 which they gave us a second mortgage to offset our out of pocket. If in fact it was on both properties the loan to value would have been only 60% and no need for the buy down. And the lawyer has been working on this for over 6 years now, and were running out of money to fight.
The question is.? How binding is the mortgage and addemdem that should have been recorded. We have copies of the addemdem sheet and depasitions conferming the issue from all parties at the closing, including the closing agent. He states that he doesn't record it the mortgage company does.
Thank You for any Help,
