Timothy Kuretich, Sr. v. Alaska Trustee, LLC, Stephen Routh, and Phh Mortgage Corporation

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed summary judgment for Alaska Trustee in a homeowner's challenge to foreclosure reinstatement charges. It held that foreclosure fees and costs could be included in the statutory sum necessary to cure the default because the charges restored the parties to their pre-default positions and were authorized by the deed of trust. The court also rejected the argument that the homeowner changed his position on appeal and declined to reach the defendants' alternative grounds.
