Edwards v. MERS
Annotate this Case
This was an action brought by the grantor of a deed of trust to stop nonjudicial foreclosure proceedings based upon the contention that MERS, the Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, which was the named beneficiary as nominee for the lender, could not legally act as the beneficiary. The defendants moved to dismiss this action on the ground that the complaint did not state a claim upon which relief could be granted. The district court agreed and entered judgment in favor of the defendants. Upon review, the Supreme Court affirmed the district court's judgment.
