Fadili v. Deutsche Bank Nat’l Trust Co., No. 14-1381 (1st Cir. 2014)
Annotate this CasePlaintiff owned a vacant lot in Alton, New Hampshire. In 2002, Plaintiff deeded the lot to his son. Because the town of Alton then held a lien due to unpaid taxes, Plaintiff did not then hold complete title to the property. The taxes were later paid off by Plaintiff’s mortgage, and, in 2005, the town deeded the lot back to Plaintiff. In 2006, Plaintiff’s daughter purchased the property from the son. The daughter’s mortgage was eventually assigned to Defendant. When the daughter stopped making her mortgage payments, Defendant sought to foreclose on the property. Plaintiff brought suit claiming he held title to the lot. The district court granted summary judgment for Defendant. The First Circuit affirmed, holding that the district court correctly granted summary judgment for Defendant where Plaintiff did not meet his burden to establish his good title to the lot and had no basis to contest either his daughter’s title to the property or her mortgage agreement with Defendant.
