Deutsche Bank National Trust Co. v. Kevlik
Annotate this CasePlaintiff Deutsche Bank National Trust Company evicted Defendants James and Catherine Kevlik from their home. The Bank claimed it owned the property because it purchased it at a foreclosure auction in June, 2009. The Kevliks appeared at the eviction hearing and challenged the Bank’s claim that it had purchased the property. They said they attended the auction, and no one but the auctioneer showed up. The Kevliks tried to move the trial court to dismiss the case because the Bank couldn’t prove it owned their property. The Bank’s attorney conceded that the documents he brought to prove the Bank owned the Kevliks’ home were not certified copies of official records. The Supreme Court concluded that the Bank could not prove it owned the property, and reversed the trial court’s decision to grant judgment to the Bank.
