The bank appeals an order denying its request for mortgage foreclosure due to lack of standing. The bank argues that it proved standing to foreclose based on its status as holder of the note. We agree. “[S]tanding may be established from a plaintiffs status as the note holder, regardless of any recorded assignments.” McLean v. JP Morgan Chase Bank Natl Assn, 79 So. 3d 170, 173 (Fla. 4th DCA 2012). “[U]nder the Uniform Commercial Code, a plaintiff is not required to be both the owner and holder of the note in order to have standing to foreclose․ Instead, the plaintiff may establish standing by showing that it owns or holds the note, or is otherwise entitled to enforce the note.” Aquasol Condo. Assn v. HSBC Bank USA, Natl Assn, 312 So. 3d 105, 112 (Fla. 3d DCA 2018) (emphasis added) (citations omitted). “[T]he mortgage security follow[s] the note.” Am. Central Ins. Co. of St. Louis, Mo. v. Whitlock, 122 Fla. 363, 165 So. 380, 382 (1936). Thus, we reverse and remand for further proceedings consistent with this opinion.
Reversed and remanded.
Per Curiam.
