7) Christine Guthrie owned a condominium unit in Bromwell Estates condominium development. ABC Bank held a first mortgage on the unit, and Forsythe Funding Corporation held a second mortgage on the unit, Forsythe Funding Corporation assigned the second mortgage to XYZ Bank. Six months later, Christine defaulted on her loans. She also had not paid her condominium assessments for the last three months, and the Bromwell Estates Condominium Association filed a lien against her unit. ABC Bank, the first mortgagee, instituted a judicial foreclosure proceeding. in its complaint, it named Christine, Forsythe Funding Corporation, and Bromwell Estates Condominium Association as defendants. Christine and the condominium association answered the complaint; Forsythe Funding Corporation never responded to the complaint and thus defaulted. A summary judgment of foreclosure was ordered by the court, and the condominium unit was sold to a third party. The sale produced excess funds. The condominium association motioned the court for distribution of the excess funds, and the court ordered that 40 percent of the excess funds be disbursed to the condominium association to cover the unpaid assessment and attorneys’ fee incurred by the association and ordered that the remaining 60 percent of the excess funds be disbursed to Christine. XYZ Bank is now coming forward to challenge the court’s distribution. it has submitted proof that it holds the unsatisfied second mortgage. Christine maintains that because Forsythe Funding Corporation, the original junior lienholder, defaulted, XYZ Bank cannot come forward now to claim the surplus funds. Who has the superior right in this situation, and why?

It recorded a Notice of Rescission of Trustee’s Deed and tendered a refund check to Kincade. Kincade has refused to accept the tender of the refund check. Magna Bank has filed an action against Kincade , seeking cancellation of the trustee’s deed.
