California Court Found That MERS Held Interests in the Property and Rejected the Plaintiff’s Argument that MERS Lacked Standing
The California court in deciding Nacif v. White-Sorensen, et al., NO. D056993. (San Diego Ct. Sup. Ct., 2009), determined that MERS held interests in the property and rejected the plaintiff’s argument that MERS had no standing because it was not qualified as a foreign corporation.
The court found that the under California law, MERS’s status as a “nominee” on a deed of trust means that it had the right to initiate foreclosure proceedings as the lender’s agent.
