Mealey's (January 30, 2020, 5:35 PM EST) -- ATLANTA — An 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals panel on Jan. 22 affirmed a ruling dismissing a widow’s lawsuit against the originator of a reverse mortgage loan and the loan servicer, holding that a federal judge in Alabama did not err when finding that neither defendant owed her a duty under Alabama law to ensure that she was also a signatory to a loan obtained by her now-deceased husband and that the judge did not err when denying her request to file a fourth amended complaint (Shirley Ann Harris v. Reverse Mortgage Solutions Inc., et al., No. 18-14013, 11th Cir., 2020 U.S. App. LEXIS 1883)....
