MEMORANDUM
Statement of the Case.
This Motion is made pursuant to Rule 56 of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure. This
case is a foreclosure action which was filed on behalf of the plaintiff and first mortgage
holder, The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee for GE Capital Mortgage Services
Inc. Trust 1999-HE2.
Statement of Fact.
Plaintiff, The First National Bank of Chicago, as Trustee for GE Capital Mortgage
Services Inc. Trust 1999-HEz2, has filed an Affidavit in Support of Motion for Summary
Judgment contemporaneously herein. The Affidavit establishes the following facts:
1 The Note and Mortgage attached to plaintiffs Complaint are true and exact
copies of the original Note and Mortgage executed by the defendants.
2. The defendants are in default of payment of said Note and establishes the
balance due and owing thereon; and
3. There is an acceleration provision on plaintiff's Note and plaintiff has
exercised that provision and called the entire unpaid principal balance with interest
immediately due and payable.
Statement of Law and Argument.As provided by its Note, plaintiff has an absolute legal right to accelerate and call
due the entire balance on the Note. The filing of the Complaint herein is sufficient
declaration of the exercise of this option. Nixon v. Buckeye Building and Loan Company,
18 Ohio L. Abs. 261 (1934).
It is well established in Ohio that once the default in payment has been made under
the terms of a Note, and once the Note has been accelerated, the holder of the Note is
entitled to judgment. King v. Stafford, 19 Ohio St. 588 (1869); Union Central Life
Insurance Company v. Curtis, 35 Ohio St. 357 (1880); Bradfield v. Hale, 67 Ohio St. 316
(1902); Evilsizor v. Speckbaugh, 55 Ohio L. Abs. 353 (1949).
The Affidavit in Support of this Motion establishes the condition broken (the
delinquent payments) and the acceleration of the indebtedness. The Affidavit also
establishes the fact that the default has not been cured by the defendants. Plaintiff has,
therefore, demonstrated in the Court with Rule 56 of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure, a
prima facia case for judgment on its Note and foreclosure of its Mortgage.
The defendant, Cynthia A. Thompson, Individually and as Administratrix of the
Estate of Martha E. Magill, Deceased, has filed an Answer in response to the plaintiff's
Complaint, which Answer raises no defenses and states that at the time of the decedent’s
death the Estate was insolvent. Plaintiff wishes to point out to the Court that insolvency of
the estate is not a bar to foreclosure and plaintiff has the right to accelerate the terms of
the Note and Mortgage.Finally, plaintiff submits that the remedy sought by this Motion is favored by Ohio
courts. In North v. Pennsylvania Road Company, 9 Ohio St. 2d 169 (1967), the Ohio
Supreme Court stated that philosophy governing the use of motions for summary
judgment:
