HSBC Seeks The Appointment Of A Referee To Sell The Property
HSBC brought an application to the Court. They sought to change the caption of the proceeding from the then current defendant, Brunson, and replacing her name with the co-administrators of her estate. It turns out that Brunson died two years before the action was commenced by HSBC. Simply speaking, HSBC sued the homeowner two years after the homeowner died. Judge Rivera took the position the entire lawsuit was a nullity from its very start. The application by HSBC to modify the caption could not be granted. The court’s decision was that the court didn’t have jurisdiction to even entertain the motion made by HSBC.
Conclusion
Banks shouldn’t sue dead people. Banks can only sue the Estate or the Administrators or Executors of an estate after someone dies.
