THE ESTATE WAS A NECESSARY PARTY IN THIS FORECLOSURE ACTION BECAUSE OF THE POTENTIAL FOR A DEFICIENCY JUDGMENT AGAINST THE DECEDENT; DEFENDANT’S CROSS MOTION FOR LEAVE TO SUBSTITUTE HERSELF AS ADMINISTRATOR OF THE ESTATE SHOULD HAVE BEEN GRANTED (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined decedent’s estate was a necessary party in this foreclosure action and defendant’s cross motion pursuant to CPLR 1015 for leave to substitute herself as administrator should have been granted:

In a mortgage foreclosure action, “[t]he rule is that a mortgagor who has made an absolute conveyance of all his [or her] interest in the mortgaged premises, including his equity of redemption, is not a necessary party to foreclosure, unless a deficiency judgment is sought” … . Here, the judgment of foreclosure and sale contains language providing for a potential deficiency judgment against the decedent if the sale of the property does not cover the amount due to the plaintiff. Consequently, the decedent’s estate was a necessary party to the action … . Specialized Loan Servicing, LLC v Kalinin, 2020 NY Slip Op 07417, Second Dept 12-9-20
