Service on Lam Motion?
Posted: Fri May 07, 2010 7:47 am
There is no harm in serving anyone and everyone. It costs you about $1 per
service and the costs of failing to serve are, at a minimum, being
embarrassed at having screwed up the service, having to re-do the paperwork,
having to make another trip to court and having to explain to your client
why things got delayed. This is a no-brainer.

I think the parties you propose to serve should be served. Otherwise, you
may get entangled in proving that either HFC or HSBC was the proper party
and you served the proper party if you serveeither one of them, not both,
which would be more expensive than just paying for the extra copies and
stamps.

On a Lam lien strip MOTION, (judge AA) I only notice the subject lienholder
(at about 15 different addresses, see below) the CH13 Trustee & the OUST and
of course anyone who is on the ECF list will get it anyway.
Is it required, prudent, or advisable to serve anyone else, for instance the
holder of the senior lien?
More importantly, it seems like the company that files the POC for the
junior lien is NEVER the same company that is listed on the deed of trust
that I am attacking, and there is nothing in the public record or the POC
documents that tells me or the court how the POC claimant came to have the
right to file that claim. I know that this is the subject to much discussion
when OBJECTING to a POC, and in some courts (SB) a big subject in MFRs, but
I don't want to go off on those tangents here. I want opinions on how to
properly notice the Lam motion only.
The specific facts in my case today are that the second loan and deed of
trust were with HFC. HSBC Mortgage, Inc. filed a POC in the case attaching
the HFC loan docs, without explination of HSBC's role (assignee?, servicer?,
successor in interest through merger?).
In an abundance of caution, I am inclined to serve the motion on:
1. HFC at the address listed in the deed of trust;
2. HFC at the address for their agent for service in California;
3. HFC at their corporate headquarters per a search of them on Google, and
including the name of a corporate officer;
4. HSBC at the address listed in the POC, (of which there are two);
6 HSBC at the address for their agent for service in California;
7. HSBC at their corporate headquarters per a search of them on Google, and
including the name of a corporate officer;
8. The OUST;
9. The CH 13 Trustee.
Am I unneccessarily killing trees, or just being thorough?
