Borrower's Common Defenses in Mortgage Foreclosures Negated

Howard Kingsley, who represented Broom Lender in "Broome Lender LLC v. Empire Broome LLC," discusses the case and how the Appellate Division, First Department removed common obstacles and cleared the path for assignees of mortgage loans to foreclose easily and quickly. Kingsley offers that the case is a "major win for lenders and their assignees because there had not been a prior decision by a New York state court where it found that, although standing was not established through an allonge, standing was established on summary judgment by the assignment of the note."
