Foreclosure Appeal Legal Strategies

Summary

In Hawaii, a deed without consideration may be void, and fraudulent conveyance can invalidate a deed. The original promissory note is crucial for establishing standing in foreclosure cases. Legal precedents like U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n v. Mattos and Bank of America, N.A. V. Reyes-Toledo emphasize the need for the foreclosing party to prove ownership and produce the original note. A Motion to Compel under Hawaii Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 37, can be filed to request the original note. If the note is claimed to be lost, challenge the validity of a lost note affidavit. Consider drafting a motion with clear requests, legal basis, and supporting facts, referencing relevant case law to strengthen your position.
