CHAPTER 62
H.P. 572 - L.D. 763
An Act to Amend the Procedure for Foreclosure by Publication
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows:
Sec. 1. 33 MRSA §353-A, sub-§7, as enacted by PL 1995, c. 304, §2, is amended to read:
7. Foreclosure by publication. In all cases of foreclosure of real estate mortgages by publication, a certificate of the publication of foreclosure made by the mortgagee or by an officer of the mortgagee, if the mortgagee is a corporation, or made by an officer or employee of the newspaper that published the notice recorded on or before January 1, 1990 is prima facie evidence of the publication of foreclosure to the same extent as if the certificate had in fact been made by the register of deeds and recorded; certificates made by the mortgagee or by an officer of the mortgagee, if the mortgagee is a corporation, or made by an officer or employee of the newspaper that published the notice and recorded on or before January 1, 1990 have the same force and effect as if made by the register of deeds and are valid.
Unless otherwise indicated, effective June 26, 1997.
