4th DCA FL App Ct Reverses Trial Court’s Ruling Allowing Mortgagee to Correct Foreclosure w/ Wrong Legal Description

Fourth District District Court of Appeals of the State of Florida, entered a final summary judgment of foreclosure that had been entered with the incorrect legal description was a “voidable,” not “void” judgment and, as a result, was subject to the one year time limit for motions to vacate the judgment.

The Court held, that the mortgagee filed its motion to vacate the judgment more than three years after it was entered, the trial court erred in granting the mortgagee’s motion to vacate.
