Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Michigan
mortgage rescession
First mortgage refinance
Mortgage is recorded 2nd day of 3 day rescession period
A second mortgage is taken out 2 years later and recorded in a timely fashion
Second mortgage holder was aware of the first mortgage
First mortgage is foreclosing for non payment
Second mortgage is current
Question-Did the first mortgage, because it was recorded prior to the rescission period being completed have the standing to be a recorded mortgage on the date it was recorded?
The first mortgage is valied but is the date of it's recording suspect?
Is is possible that the first mortgage will have to be re-recorded and the second mortgage move up to first priority.

Re: mortgage rescession
Since you did not rescind the first mortgage, the recording is valid.
