How later courts described this case

  • stating that indispensable third- party purchasers "may participate in the bank's foreclosure proceedings only to the extent that they plan to exercise their statutory right of redemption and prevent the forced sale of the property"
  • “At no time were the Pealers parties to the note and mortgage. As such, the Pealers’ interest is limited to their possession of the property and is subordinate to the bank’s interest, which stems from the note and mortgage. Therefore, the Pealers may participate in the bank’s foreclosure proceedings only to the extent that they plan to exercise their statutory right of redemption….”
  • “[T]he bank’s standing to foreclose derives from its right to enforce the note and mortgage.” (citing St. Clair v. U.S. Bank Nat’l Ass’n, 173 So.3d 1045, 1047 (Fla. 2d DCA 2015))
