Well what do we have here?

A. FOR ANY BENEFICIARY WHO IS NOT THE ORIGINATING BENEFICIARY ON THE DEED OF TRUST, THE BENEFICIARY SHALL RECORD A SUMMARY DOCUMENT REGARDING THE BENEFICIARY'S LEGAL INTEREST IN THE DEED OF TRUST THAT CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IN CHRONOLOGICAL ORDER:

THE FULL NAME AND ADDRESS OF RECORD OF EVERY PRIOR BENEFICIARY ON THE DEED OF TRUST.

THE DATE, RECORDATION NUMBER OR OTHER UNIQUE DESIGNATION OF THE INSTRUMENT, AND A DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT THAT CONVEYED THE INTEREST OF EACH BENEFICIARY.

THE SUMMARY DOCUMENT PRESCRIBED BY THIS SECTION SHALL BE RECORDED AT THE SAME TIME AND PLACE THAT THE NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE IS RECORDED PURSUANT TO SECTION 33-808 AND A COPY OF THE SUMMARY DOCUMENT SHALL BE ATTACHED TO ANY NOTICE OF TRUSTEE'S SALE THAT IS REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED AS PRESCRIBED IN SECTION 33-809.

C. FAILURE TO PROPERLY RECORD THE SUMMARY DOCUMENT THAT DEMONSTRATES EVIDENCE OF TITLE FOR THE FORECLOSING BENEFICIARY AS OF THE DATE OF THE TRUSTEE'S SALE AS PRESCRIBED BY THIS SECTION RESULTS IN A VOIDABLE SALE.

D. ANY PERSON WITH AN INTEREST IN THE TRUST PROPERTY MAY FILE AN ACTION TO VOID THE TRUSTEE'S SALE FOR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THIS SECTION AND IS ENTITLED TO AN AWARD OF ATTORNEY FEES AS WELL AS DAMAGES AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED BY LAW IF THE PERSON SUBSTANTIALLY PREVAILS, INCLUDING AN AWARD OF ATTORNEY FEES FOR ANY INJUNCTION OR OTHER PROVISIONAL REMEDIES RELATED TO THE CLAIM.

It's about damn time.

That ought to put an immediate and complete stop to the crap that banks continually run about having "substitute" documents or having an assignment when they really don't.  Note that this bill (which apparently was just voted out of committee 4-0 in the Senate, and which has a companion in The House) will put an absolute stop to any foreclosure where the originator of the note did not transfer it properly (that would be, I'd argue, most of them) and it will render void upon suit by any person who is foreclosed upon and discovers that the note was never properly conveyed.

Ex-post-facto "cleanup" BS games will be rendered impossible by this bill.

The bottom line is this: Either the original issue of that mortgage and its subsequent securitization went through all previously-required assignments and you can prove it or your ability to convey a title via Trustee Sale is gone.

Awwww those poor widdle banksters that cheated on the rules.... looks like Arizona has had enough of their games and is going to body-slam them all in favor of their citizens.  BRAVO!

Now to get this introduced and passed in all 50 states..... a refreshing instance of legislation that actually both defends property rights and fits on one page!

That is nice and simple. Either they have the documents or they don't. I found the DOT I have mentioned from time to time here. It is on a sub-prime POC and to my surprise MERS wasn't listed as the beneficiary on it. First Option was or was it Option One? The only option I saw in that POC was the court house.

In any case, that skewers MERS. MERS thought it could sit in a tree like buzzard waiting for something to die, then pounce. Then it found out it was a red wing black bird that couldn't handle its corpses. It needed the help of a bunch of jackals. Then they found out that jackals in sheep clothing will not pass because they stink too badly.

They have their work cut out for them in AZ. The bubble burst cut really deep there. This means they need assignments doctored from years ago. They are going to need valid notaries. Not the dead one they got caught using. They are going to need the name of an authorized signer from several years ago. They might be clueless as to who these people are. Remember, they can get tax information to see if someone every worked for an outfit and I doubt a $8 an hour employee is going to be looked at as one of authority. Also, this type of organization is ripe for a sting.

I've reached the point where I believe a law like this will help but no where near stop the Banksters.

I suspect they have assembled an army of "fraud specialists" working diligently now to create the legal documentation they never had and that doesn't exist. As soon as they are confident in their new scheme, we'll see another attempt at Federal legislation to fix this "problem" that will garner full bipartisan support and with financial industry backing. Jamie Dimon and Sheila Bair will probably be there for the announcement.

When are they going to get off that Federal bull**** Gen. The 13 states created the Federal government, so where the Fed have ever had anything to do with the creation of those land titles. They damn sure couldn't garner authority over the rest of the states. If they bow down to the bankers on this one, it is probably time to either put on your slave suit or start shooting.

This bill says they can't have gaps in the chain of assignments. The legal battles will probably still be fighting bogus assignments that superficially meet the requirements of the courts.

Listen, these SOB's couldn't care less about this crap. The rest of us are going to get the bill in their minds and as long as these notes are not foreclosed, they can keep stealing money out of the other end of the cow. There seems to be a delusion they give a **** about the shareholders? Didn't every one of the Wall Street banks go public? If they gave a **** about the shareholder, they wouldn't have taken action to avoid being one of them to the extent they would have had to. The entire US corporate world is about looting the employer or the guy on the other end. They care not who gets the bag.

While I applaud this wholeheartedly, I'd have to predict there will be a massive ****storm generated based upon (obviously) bank objections to overthrowing the UCC. Yes, it may be true that the bogus assignments violated the terms of the UCC all over the place, but the banks, still, have perception on their side that they are always right in most courts. And they will want to deconstruct such massive hand-waving into individual cases. We can hope that the tide is turning on this though.

But it's not overthrowing the UCC Gamma. That's the problem with the objection.

The UCC actually requires that in order to enforce a security interest you document how you acquired it, and to get "Holder in Due Course" status (which is REQUIRED to be immune from any potential claims based on evil acts of those in front of you) you must document not only that you got the note, but that you did so in arms-length transaction and at the time you did so you neither knew or had reason to know it was defective.

That's IN the UCC. The State Courts have been IGNORING these requirements. All this law does is reduce all the wordsmithing bull**** in the UCC into one page.

Careful about that, Karl. AZ and NM have various laws that date from their status as territories, which ended, I believe, in 1912 with their statehood. I was peripherally involved in a property dispute in Santa Fe, and there were aspects of how property laws worked that were glaringly different from CA. I don't know and don't pretend to know enough about the details, but AZ and NM be different from all other states in certain arcane property laws (Who knows, they might be more *stingent* in these cases....I don't know)

(add) And, my comment characterizing & anticipating the banks' objections...the banks will not claim UCC "overthrow", they will claim "adequacy", eg; is party "A" and part "B" agree that scratching something into the bark of that tree over there, then for those parties, the action is adequate.

this is a mess with no solution.....this wil lonly be resolved when the entire system dies and we live in the mud.

It's not just state law. Title law has common law roots that reach back to before the Indians sold Manhattan Island. The unintended consequences, if CONgress led by the Repuli-turds tries to preempt to save the pigmen's bacon, would be incalculable. After which, I wouldn't be surprised if a movement in the statehouses toward nullification began.
