Good catch.  I had missed the sale date occurring in 2007.

Thanks Scott for the case site.  The footnotes to the case seem to indicate that after the 2005 changes the 120 affidavit would cut off the lender that did not get served the notice of redemption.   Interesting!!

Todd,

 

A case decided by the Iowa Court of Appeals this summer ruled that a claim for failure to properly serve a mortgagee is not cut off by the 120 affidavit in Iowa Code 448.15.  See Robinson v. First American Title Ins. Co., 2008 WL 2514019 (Iowa App.).

When did the tax sale and tax deed take place?

Within 10 years or over?

Interesting - the mortgagee apparently was not escrowing for taxes?

Subject: 120 day Affidavit---Tas Sale

I am looking at an abstract that shows tax sale proceedings and  a Tax sale deed from the Treasurer to the current owner.  The problem that I am having is the prior owner of the real estate under examination had a 48,000.00 mortgage to Citifinancial.  The Affidavit of Service filed with the Treasurer states that the Redemption Notice was served on the owner and the City, but the Bank was not served with the Redemption notice.  Q??? -- Does the 120 day Affidavit per 448.15 cut off any potential claim the bank might have to bring an action to invalidate the tax sale deed?  The newest tax sale legislation passed in 2005 indicates that the affidavit  would bar and estop the bank from commening an action for improper service.  To me there is a difference between improper service and no service at all.  I have a hard time with the fact that the Bank did not get actual or constructive notice and they can be cut off by the 120 day affidavit.   What does real estate bar think??   Pass title or make an objection?    Thanks to all in advance for your responses.
