The New Jersey State Bar Association supports S1604 (Codey)/A2808 (Schaer), which requires a certification of diligent inquiry in residential mortgage foreclosure actions to be filed by attorneys.
The Association supports this proposed legislation as currently written because it supplements the “Fair Foreclosure Act,” codifying the aspects of New Jersey Court Rule 4:64-1 regarding certifications of diligent inquiry.
For the reasons set forth above, the New Jersey State Bar Association supports S1604/A2808 and urges you to vote yes to this legislation.
