Section 44-14-182. Foreclosure by transferee

   An endorsement to order or in blank by the payee of a mortgage note gives the endorsee or the holder for value the right to foreclose the mortgage in his own name. A mortgage transferred without written assignment may be foreclosed in the name of the mortgagee bringing the action for the use of such assignee; and proceedings begun in the name of the transferee may be amended by making the mortgagee a party before or after the judgment.
