Legal Question in Real Estate Law in California

Re: ''produce the note''

Yes. You can look them up at a law library.

Re: ''produce the note''

By the way, while you are at the law library, you will want to look up the very few reported cases in California where this issue has been raised. The homeowners have lost them all. California is not Florida nor Illinois where this has worked in a few very limited cases. In Illinois, this only worked in a Bankruptcy proceeding because the judge was being a hard-you-know-what. There are apparently other Illinois cases that have overruled the "produce the note" defense there. I am not aware of a single case in California that has been successful in asserting the produce the note defense, and I have spoken with the attorney in Florida who has successfully prosecuted these in Florida, and she's not aware of anyone in California who has been successful. Good luck, but I fear you may be chasing windmills.
