Supreme Court of Arkansas

Frederick S. Wetzel, Appellant v. Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc., Appellee

January 21, 20102010 Ark. LEXIS 43

Summary

The Arkansas Supreme Court accepted a bankruptcy court's certified question concerning whether recorded copies of a lost mortgage provide constructive notice sufficient to defeat a bona fide purchaser's claim. The court established briefing and processing requirements for the certified-question proceeding, but the opinion text does not state a substantive answer to the mortgage-recording question.
