Q: I have questions regarding MERS and some other random documents that are included with a note and home loan in Iowa.
I am a dv survivor and my soon to be exhusband is in prison being convicted of 3 charges. We married on the 12/15 and bought a house as well. I was told we owned it and I was only on the deed, he had me sign documents at the lender and an attorney was there but I was unable to read them. Later I am finding more out and it looks like he has me sign a note to be responsible for a large sum with him and then took out a mortgage in his name. The documents show we purchased a money mortgage with a grantee and it has Mers on the document. It shows different dates and amounts online and I found an assignment document filed on a month ago. The house is supposed to be in foreclosure but it has very unique references in the paperwork I have found online.
