I'd assume that this is why the various State's Attorney Generals are investigating not only in the judicial foreclosure states, but also in the non-judicial ones. It appears that there is sufficient reason to be concerned as to these matters. I don't know if there is illegal aspects to this particular practice, which I outlined. I do know that I, as a voting Citizen and taxpayer, have questions that I want our elected officials to investigate.
As noted, this aspect is not being talked about in the media and I think that it deserves some investigative scrutiny by journalist in order for it to rise to the attention of the politicians. The current media is passing around the same stories of "bank lawyers" and "bank employees" as robo-signers, and has not yet picked up on the third parties that are way "down line" in this food chain, who also appear to be "robo-signers".
I agree with you assessment of the significant differences between signing a powerful document like an affidavit, versus signing a notice for the Official Records. I'm not so sure that the nuances of what it means to place something on the Official Records have been fully vetted in our discussions. There are indeed highly valuable property interests at stake for both the lenders / note holders and the borrowers / home owners. If there is potential that these home owners have rights that they are not aware of, rights which include ensuring that a proper process has been perfected before their homes are taken from them, then a legislative or other public investigation should be of concern to us as Citizens, as taxpayers, as property owners, as voters, and as We the People.
