- 06/11/13 10:56 PM
It is normal and customary practice at most escrow branches to make a photocopy of the earnest money check at the bottom of the system–issued receipt and provide a copy of it to the listing agent, selling agent, mortgage broker and lender. In one escrow branch they did just that, only to find out from the buyers the information from the earnest money check had been intercepted by fraudsters who attempted to write more checks using the same exact check number in various amounts to different payees. In February 2013, the buyers wrote a check to Chicago Title Company in the … (0 comments)
title insurance: Short Pay Lenders Are Serious!
- 05/13/13 11:24 PM
Short pay lenders are serious about the principals upholding the terms and conditions placed on them by the short sale agreement. One of the most common conditions reads, "The property will not be sold within 90 days of the closing date of the subject real estate purchase contract." Short pay lenders enforce this condition by checking the chain of title post–closing to verify the property owner matches the buyer shown on the settlement statement provided them at closing. When the title to the property is in the name of someone other than the buyer, they immediately ban the closing agent from … (0 comments)

Below is an article about a man who stole foreclosed properties from large lending institutions in Southern California. Mr. Boucher identified REO properties in Los Angeles, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties and executed grant deeds as the lender's "authorized representative." In many instances, the individuals he deeded the properties to were the very persons upon whom the lender had previously foreclosed.
In February 2012 Eldred Sotello, a Western States underwriter, prepared confidential memorandum #2265 which identified Boucher and many other individuals and entities with whom he collaborated. Eldred also directed an email alert to be issued to the Company's operations … (0 comments)

title insurance: Drama- How divorce can kink a transaction!
- 11/14/12 01:44 AM
It is amazing how a divorce can affect a closing. Many people believe their domestic problems become the settlement agent's problem and often look to the settlement agent to be the tie–breaker for them. It is important for a settlement agent to take a step back, stay out of the drama and never lose sight of the proper escrow procedures and underwriting requirements. This story illustrates how a simple refinance turned into a whole lot of drama — other people's drama — and our Company was continually asked to take on unnecessary risks. Read on to find out why it is … (2 comments)
