CASE ALERT: Wells Fargo v. Mahogany Meadows - Wells Fargo Bank brought a quiet title action against an owner who acquired title at foreclosure auction, a homeowners association, and the association’s agent, asserting that a Nevada statute that gives a superpriority lien to homeowners associations for unpaid assessments on properties within an association violates the Takings Clause and the Due Process Clause. The district court dismissed Wells Fargo’s action for failure to s...tate a claim, and the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld the ruling, holding that Wells Fargo cannot establish an uncompensated taking, because the enactment of section 116.3116 predated the creation of Wells Fargo's lien on the property and applies prospectively against liens created thereafter, and the Due Process Clause was not violated, because Wells Fargo did not dispute it received actual notice of the foreclosure action. #TakingsClause https://cdn.ca9.uscourts.gov//opin/2020/11/05/18-17320.pdf See more
