[WSBAPT] summary judgment bank foreclosure

[Josh Grant]

I am wondering if anyone has  sample form(s)?

My client has been served with a foreclosure complaint and summons.  I have explained repeatedly that B of A has no right to foreclose.  Client’s parents were the borrowers. A year or so before they borrowed from BofA they gave house to client retaining a life estate on it.  Title company goofed and didn’t notice the deed.  Title company has admitted that goof, and I have told bank to go collect on lender’s title policy.  Parents died many years ago(way more than 2).  Because all they could encumber was a life estate, and the life estates are long gone, foreclosure compalint of the house should be cancelled by summary judgment. No action against parents’ estates in the 2 years since they died.

Anyone have a summary judgment forms that would be similar that I can work off of?

I will be asking for attorney fees under RCW 4.84.330 (contract provides for attorneys’ fees = prevailing party collects).  I will put that in the answer as well.
I have pointed all this out many times over the last several years to various collection bureau’s, so I would think the complaint to foreclose violated CR 11, except that the collection bureau probably didn’t pass on the info to the attorney.  I don’t need CR 11 anyway because of 4.84.330.  Maybe if they oppose the summary judgment motion?

thanks
