• 2023 Ohio 1405

Syllabus

The trial court did not err in sustaining appellee-bank's motion for summary judgment on its complaint for foreclosure. The bank filed its complaint for foreclosure following the death of the decedent-borrower, after which payments on the note ceased, and it did not seek personal judgment on the note but sought foreclosure of the mortgage to enforce its security interest. Appellant, an heir to the decedent-borrower, was a necessary party to this action following the decedent-borrower's death and did not oppose the bank's motion for summary judgment. Judgment affirmed.
