Mortgage Foreclosure Class Action?

In a complex ruling, a court recently ruled that certain foreclosures were invalid because the banks in question did not follow proper procedures.

In essence, the banks didn’t prove they owned the mortgages, which were improperly transferred into mortgage-backed trusts.

According to press reports:

"The confusion of ownership is a result of the transference of assets into mortgage-backed securities. [The defendants] argued that securitization documents provided sufficient evidence proving that they owned the mortgages before the foreclosure sales occurred. The court deemed this insufficient. As foreclosures are rampant, implications of this ruling are widespread."  http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/g/a/2011/01/10/benzinga765542.DTL#ixzz1AgPY5TEY

While the law is complex, the bottom line is that this ruling now calls into question the legality of thousands of foreclosures in all 50 states.
