<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color="#1f497d"
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1F497D'>I
agree with those who noted that a lender does not have an interest in property,
instead it has a mortgage lien, and thus is not covered under 713.24.
However that is the tip of the iceberg and begs the question.</span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color="#1f497d"
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1F497D'>The
concern that I have experienced is where the lender seeks to transfer the lien
to bond but the bond form is not conditioned only on proving the lien claim it
is also conditioned on proving priority. That is not what 713.24 is
about, and the clerks aren’t real students of 713.24 as they have many
duties. If that happens the lienor should challenge any certificate of
transfer. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><font size=2 color="#1f497d"
face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:#1F497D'>So a
lender is a little nuts wanting to transfer a lien under 713.24 without added
language (which would not meet the requirements of 713.24), because then the
lienor need only prove its lien claim and the condition of the bond is
performed where the principal and surety on the bond are on the hook (assuming
they didn’t sneak in any added language to the 713.24 bond form). The
lender loses its argument about the lien not having equity and being inferior
to the mortgage by bonding it off and taking the property equity out of the
equation. The lienor should be ecstatic about not being worried about the
lender’s priority any more, but must watch carefully the language in the
bond. If the lender is looking to clear title for some reason of its own,
it should not be the principal on the bond – only someone with an
interest. If the lender gets cute and adds language to the bond, we have
some new issues to address, which I believe are not yet resolved. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

if the lender uses a 713.24 bond to transfer it off, the question is: Is

interest in the property? </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
