Foreclosure – Reformation of Mortgage

2014AP2687 OneWest Bank, FSB v. Gene O. Raatz

Gene and Gloria Raatz appeal a summary judgment of foreclosure entered after the circuit court granted OneWest Bank, FSB’s action for reformation of the mortgage to make it apply to both of the lots owned by the Raatzes. Although the Raatzes raise several confusing arguments challenging the court’s decisions and the Bank offers several alternative grounds for affirming the decisions, we conclude resolution of two issues is dispositive. Because the court properly granted reformation of the mortgage and the supporting papers the Raatzes submitted opposing summary judgment failed to create an issue of material fact, we affirm the judgment.

Decision

Affirmed. Per Curiam
