On February 3, 2009 WWR issued a client advisory, stating that the Wayne County Michigan Sheriff Warren Evans was halting all foreclosures in his county.
On Feb 24, 2009 Sheriff Evans provided a memorandum updating his position and setting forth new procedures which he will be following to allow foreclosures to progress in Wayne County. See the link below to view a copy of the memorandum.
Weltman, Weinberg & Reis Co., L.P.A. (WWR) will be providing all of our clients the appropriate affidavits to satisfy Sheriff Evans’ “requirements” within sufficient time to proceed to sale.
WWR is still in the process of analyzing these requirements. Although we have an opinion that the sheriff may be exceeding his authority in making such requirements, which are outside of Michigan foreclosure law, we are prepared to comply. We believe this will be most beneficial to you in the long run.
WWR appreciates your business and will continue to protect your interests. We will keep you updated with any additional changes as they arise.
Go here to see a copy of the memorandum from Sheriff Evans.
