Defendant, US BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION TRUSTEE FOR MASTER
ALTERNATIVE LOAN TRUST 2005-1 (“US Bank’) by and through undersigned counsel,
joined by Plaintiff, NATASHA QUINCE (“Quince”), files this Joint Stipulation for Order
Disbursing Surplus Funds (“Stipulation”) pursuant to Fla. R. Civ. Pro. 1.510 and 1.420 through
the undersigned party and counsel.
BACKGROUND
1, Quince is an assignee of the former owner of the property that gave rise to the tax
deed surplus in this matter.
2. On or about February 22, 2017, a tax deed sale (Tax Deed# 195132014) was
held, and the subject property (Parcel ID# 4162-003-001) was sold for an amount exceeding the
delinquent taxes and creating a surplus of funds.
3. The Clerk of the Court now has possession of surplus funds in the amount of
$28,746.05, following a tax deed sale of property previously owned by David Ortwein (“Tax
Deed Surplus”).
4, The real property in question is described as follows:
Electronically Filed Marion Case # 19CA002537AX 02/26/2020 03:50:06 PMLot 1, Block C, BELLEVIEW ESTATES SECOND ADDITION,
as per plat thereof recorded in Plat Book F, Page 121, Public
Records of Marion County, Florida.
Parcel Identification Number: R4162-003-001
5. The above-described property shall hereafter be referred to as the Subject
Property.
6. US Bank has a claim against the Tax Deed Surplus as a result of the unsatisfied
lien represented by the Mortgage encumbering the Subject Property, filed in the public records of
Marion County, Florida, recorded at O.R. Book 3875, Pages 1380-1396, on November 19, 2004,
in the amount of $57,500.
7. US Bank further states that it is the assignee of that Mortgage, which Assignment
was recorded at O.R. Book 5771, Page 537, on November 27, 2012, in the public records of
Marion County, Florida.
8. By virtue of the prior recorded Mortgage in the Public Records of Marion County,
Florida, US Bank possessed a lien on the property described therein, the sale of which generated
the Tax Deed Surplus.
9. As a result of the foregoing, US Bank has a claim to the Tax Deed Surplus that
conflicts with Quince’s, whose liens, interests, or other rights were recorded after or otherwise
subordinate to those of US Bank. See generally Fla. Stat. §§ 197.582; Walter E. Heller & Co.
Southeast, Inc. v. Williams, 450 So.2d 521, 532 (Fla. 3d DCA 1984), review denied, 462 So.2d
1108 (Fla.1985); DeMario v. Franklin Mortg. & Inv, Co., Inc., 648 So. 2d 210, 214 (Fla, 4th
DCA 1994); Fla. Admin. Code R. 12D-13,065(3) (2017).
10. US Bank is presently owed $31,339.41 from the account that is secured by the
Mortgage and which amount exceeds the available tax deed surplus.11. U.S. Bank’s Mortgage is serviced by CitiMortgage, Inc.
12. The defaulted party, by CapOne CLTRL Assignee of Fig 2233, was the applicant
for the tax deed, and had no lien or other claim against the Subject Property at the time of the tax
deed sale and no right to the Tax Deed Surplus. The Clerk of the Court entered a default against
CLTRL Assignee of Fig 223, on January 3, 2020 as to any claim it may have to the surplus
funds.
13. No other parties are believed to have even a potential claim, and no government
liens against the property are known to exist
14. Quince’s claims derive from its attorney-in-fact status for the legal title holders of
record at the time of the tax deed sale, David Ortwein, who acquired title to the Subject Property
via deed on November 15, 2004, and which Warranty Deed was recorded at O.R. Book 3875,
Page 1379 on November 19, 2004.
15. The two claimants, Quince and U.S. Bank, have disputed their relative priority to
the Tax Deed Surplus.
16. In order to resolve their dispute, Quince and U.S, Bank stipulate that the parties
shall receive the Tax Deed Surplus as follows, without objection by any other party that has
appeared in this action:
A. $2,000.00 to Natasha Quince by check payable to and mailed to Natasha Y.
Quince, c/o Gold Point Investments LLC, 14280 S. Military Trail, Unit 6112,
Delray Beach, FL 33482
B. The remainder of the surplus funds, to U.S. Bank, by check payable to
CitiMortgage, Inc., the servicer of U.S. Bank’s loan, and mailed to Christopher
A, Roach, Esq., Adams and Reese, LLP, 101 E. Kennedy Blvd., Suite 4000,
Tampa, Florida 33602.C. If any additional fees are extant and owed to the Clerk or should be deducted by
the Clerk, they can be taken from the amount payable to CitiMortgage Inc., as
servicer to U.S. Bank, by the Clerk.
17. The parties further stipulate that upon this distribution, this matter may be
dismissed with prejudice, with each party to bear its own fees and costs, upon the entry of the
order attached as Exhibit “1.”
WHEREFORE, the signatories respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter an
Order directing that:
A. Payment shall be made in accordance with the stipulation above;
B. All such other and further relief as the Court deems appropriate, just, and
equitable under the circumstances be awarded.
