OC Interior Services v. Nationstar Mortgage
Annotate this CasePlaintiff OC Interior Services, Inc. (OCI) purchased real property knowing about a recorded default judgment in the chain of title that vacated the lien interest of the predecessor-in-interest to appellants Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, in Trust for the Harborview Mortgage Loan Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2007-7 (Deutsche Bank) and Nationstar Mortgage, LLC (Nationstar, together appellants). The default judgment was later adjudicated as void. The question presented for the Court of Appeals was whether OCI, a purported bona fide purchaser for value, took title to the property subject to appellants' lien. The trial court found that OCI was a bona fide purchaser for value that took title to the property free of appellants' lien. The Court reversed as the void default judgment was a nullity for all purposes, including as against a purported bona fide purchaser for value.
