    I need to know who the registered agent is for a bank named as a defendant
    I am filing for a quiet title of a tax deed property myself in volusia county, Florida. I have all the documents in order with the correct format with just one small detail on the defendants. One defendant is Wachovia Bank. I was told by the civil dept. at the county, that I had to name Wachovia Bank as Wachovia Bank in care of (registered agent). Now as far as I know Wachovia Bank does not have a registered agent and they have also merged with and are now Wells Fargo. My question is, who do I name as the defendant for Wachovia and how would I word it? Would I just name the wells fargo registered agent without mentioning Wachovia at all? The county mailed their papers for notification of a tax deed sale to Wachovia Bank, but I was told I had to go through the registered agent, so I am a little confused and seeking some help.

    Thanks for any help

    You would need to mention them both banks, showing that the one is now owned by the other.

    The Corporation records, at the Sec of State within your state will give you that info.

    Also, normally they have a office to handle legal matters, have you called the bank and just asked for the address

    Search here. I see that while there is a number of corporations with names beginning with "Wachovia", there doesn't appear to be an entry for "Wachovia Bank" as such.

    Many states have provision for service of corporations on a state official, (such as Secretary of State, or Secretary of Corporations), when a corporation has neglected to list a registered agent. But, strangely, Florida doesn't appear to have such a provision.

    I would determine which state this bank is incorporated in, and then do out-of-state service there. Florida does have rules for serving persons or corporations located out-of-state.
