Before a bank can institute a foreclosure proceeding, the bank must record the assignment of the note. The bank must also be in actual possession of the note. If the bank fails to ?produce the note,? that is, cannot demonstrate that the note was assigned to it, the bank cannot demonstrate it owns the note.
