MERS authority to foreclose upheld on appeal in 10th Circuit

``the 10th Circuit, which reviewed Utah appellate court decisions, upheld MERS ability to foreclose, saying the deed of trust specifically gave MERS the right "to foreclose on behalf of lender and lender's successors and assigns." The court analyzed the Utah law cited by the plaintiffs and declared that the trustee in the case, ReconTrust, possessed authority to foreclose. ''
