Opinion
GILBERT, P. J.
Civil Code section 2934a, subdivision (a)(4) 1 provides that the beneficiary of a deed of trust may replace the appointed trustee simply by recording a substitution, and that “the new trustee shall succeed to all the powers, duties, authority, and title granted and delegated to the trustee named in the deed of trust.” We conclude that under the circumstances here reformation may validate a foreclosure sale under section 2934a 2 when a former trustee mistakenly conducts the sale after a new trustee has been substituted.
