Fannie-Related Mortgage Foreclosures No Longer To Be Carried Out In The Name Of MERS

DSNews.com reports:

• In new policy guidelines released this week, Fannie Mae told servicers that they can no longer name MERS [Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems] as the plaintiff in any foreclosure action, whether judicial or non-judicial, on a mortgage loan owned or securitized by the GSE.

***

• Fannie Mae stated in its new servicing guidelines that when MERS is listed as the mortgagee of record, the servicer must prepare a mortgage assignment transferring the position from MERS back to the servicer, and then bring the foreclosure in its own name.
