Westin Hills Townhome Owners Ass'n v. Fed. Nat'l Mortgage Ass'n
Annotate this CaseWestin Hills West Three Townhome Owners Association (the Association) appealed an order of the district court, which entered summary judgment in favor of the owner of the property, Federal National Mortgage Association, doing business as Fannie Mae (FNMA). In this foreclosure of lien case, the Association claimed that the recording of its declaration of covenants before the deed of trust gave the assessment lien recorded after the deed of trust first priority. The district court rejected this claim. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding that the court did not err in granting FNMA's motion for summary judgment, as the deed of trust was superior to any assessment lien mentioned in the declaration of the Association.
