The following may be a good reason to contact an attorney if you live in Clark County, Nevada.Nevada Attorney General Catherine Masto has filed criminal charges against two title officers employed by Lender Processing Service (LPS) for robosigning involving tens of thousands of allegedly fraudulent documents. The allegedly fraudulent docs were passed through the Clark County recorder's office between 2005 and 2008. The accused officers, Gary Tafford and Gerri Sheppard, are each charged with at least 100 counts of criminal action. According to Masto's office, they allegedly instructed employees to forge their names on documents and then notarize the forged signatures. Once this was allegedly done, the docs were then filed with the Clark County Recorder's office.
LPS reportedly acknowledges that "the signing procedures on some of these documents were flawed,” but then insists that "these documents were properly authorized and their recording did not result in a wrongful foreclosure.” While the accused will have their day in court and it will be up to a jury of their peers to decide on the validity of these charges, it would appear that an investigation into this situation might be advisable if you happened to lose your home to foreclosure during the above mentioned time period, feel you were wrongly foreclosed upon and your property was in Clark County.
Good Luck.
