FALL RIVER, Mass.--(Business Wire)--
This morning, the Massachusetts Land Court agreed with Attorney Glenn Russell by
ruling that mortgage lenders must prove that they are indeed the mortgage note
holders of record in order to foreclose. The ruling was part of two court cases,
U.S. Bank National Association v. Ibanez (08 MISC 384283 (KCL)) and Wells Fargo
v. Larace (08 MISC 386755 (KCL)). 

"This is great news for Massachusetts homeowners," says MFI-Boston President
Steve Dibert. "The lender must now prove that he or she has a legitimate claim
in order to foreclose. Forcing the lender to provide this proof has been the
primary mission of both MFI-Boston and MFI-Miami since I started both companies
nearly 18 months ago." 

As the attorney for the Laraces in Wells Fargo v. Larace, Massachusetts Attorney
Glenn Russell, Jr. says: "This is a monumental decision in the history of
Massachusetts law. This not only gives homeowners another defense during a
foreclosure, but it could open the door for anyone to seek damages against their
lender if they were illegally foreclosed upon in the past."
