TRUSTEE'S SALES
Wilson v. Hynek (PDF)
A loan was secured by two deeds of trust, one securing a vacant parcel of land and the other securing plaintiffs' residence. The court rejected plaintiffs' claim that defendants were bound by alleged oral representations that defendants would first foreclose on the vacant parcel, because the deeds of trust specifically provided: "Borrower hereby expressly waives any right which it may have to direct the order in which any of the Property shall be sold in the event of any sale or sales pursuant to this Deed of Trust." The court also rejected plaintiffs' claim that the notice of default was invalid because it was executed by an agent for the beneficiary rather than by the trustee, because Civil Code Section 2942(a)(1) provides that a notice of default can be recorded by a trustee, beneficiary or any of their authorized agents.
