Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Mortgage Foreclosure
(Court opinion corrected 10/20/15.) Court properly granted summary judgment for Plaintiff bank in foreclosure of marital home owned by a land trust. Wife's signing of a letter of direction to trustee of land trust shows her consent to the mortgage, a joint debt, and thus the defense of tenants by the entirety, even if allowed by statute, was not available to prevent foreclosure. (PIERCE and SIMON, concurring.)
