That individual may not be avdilableto actually conduct the foreclosure, however, and the lender must appoint asubstitute trustee.Such appointment must be made in strict compliance with the deed of trustterms. Failure to do so will make the attempted appointment invalid. Johns.on v.Koenig, 353 S.W.2d 478 (Tex. Civ. App. -Austin1962, writ refd n.r.e.). The deed of trust may also require that any substitutetrustee appointment be recorded. Check for such requirements in the deer oftrust and whether the lender has complied therewith.All such requirements regarding the substitute trustee must be met beforeposting. If the sale is conducted by anyone other than the trustee named i 1 thedeed of trust or a properly appointed substitute trustee, the sale is void.Pretender lenders had everything planned out, except the training of the IHWfirms (foreclosure mills) they hired, especially in non-judicial states.It was hard enough to find an attorney that knew real estate law to save a 1omefrom foreclosure, so these firms had no stringent procedures for doing the anksbidding.Now they are taking their time, retrieving documents, making sure paperw >rk isin order before proceeding, but they have two years of foreclosures where theybotched it literally and are in deep doo-doo.When the 50 state AGs started the investigation (an you know they don tinvestigate nothing if there is no wrongdoing), there were press releases hsued

It is likely that affidavits and other documents, such asassignments of deeds of trust and appointments of substitute trustees, with theissued described, above may have been used in connection with foreclosures inthe State of Texas. Regardless of whether the foreclosure was a nonjudicial oneor a judicial one in connection with a home equity loan, home equity line of creditIor reverse mortgage, if any of the practices described above were utilized Inestablishing Bank of America s authority to conduct the sale or obtain a coprtorder for a sale, such use would have been in a violation of Section 17.46(a) ofthe Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act; Section 392.304, Texas DebtCollectionsAct; Section 37.02, Texas Penal Code; Section 12.001, TexasProperty Code; Section 406.009, Texas Government Code; Texas Constitl tionArticle 16, Section 50; and/or Rule 736(1), Texas Rules of Civil Procedure, andthe document and therefore the foreclosure sale would have been invalid.There is more documented, it s a great read if you digest what is alleged. Thebanks ignored this.

    If you are paying cash, that is no protection against later claims of owners whonever legally lost title or gave title notwithstanding what is recorded in the titleregistry. Those documents if false would return the prior owner to title and .possession of the property. That would leave you literally out in the cold i ~ o u thome or the money you put into the deal. And as we have already seen, t le factthat a title company or even an ACTUAL lender (actually lending their ownmoney) is willing to close doesn't mean that title is clear. Both have beenconsisting violating basic underwriting standards of the industry for at least 15years.If there is or was one or more loans going back perhaps 10 15 years in the chaintitle, they were probably subject to some claim of securitization. If securitizationis an issue the plain truth is that the players in the securitization chain can't tellyou what you need to know about title. They just don't know because they hevercared. There is a big difference between

    Each of these factor into title or potential claims on title. each of these factor intoany foreclosure and subsequent sale. And ultimately each of these will need to becleared through signatures and recorded affidavits of all the possibleparticipants, a court order quieting title or both. ; _,,,.CASE N POINT: I know of a situation in Phoenix where the famed foreclosure millTiffany and Bosco is involved. There was a foreclosure and then there was a deedfrom husband to wife. Obviously that raises eyebrows. If there was a foreclosureand it was valid then the husband to wife deed is a wild deed and can be ignored.But the husband and wife deed is corroborated by the fact that one of them orboth were on the original deed and the original mortgage that was foreclosed. Sothe husband -wife deed is not clearly wild - it is questionable at best and atworst, part of the proof that the foreclosure sale was illegal, ineffective or invalid.Now the property went apparently from the party who submitted the successfulbid at an auction that may or may not have been authorized because it Wf Sordered or conducted by a Substitute trustee by virtue of a substitution o{trustee that may or may not be an authenticated document. And the Notice. >fDefault and Notice of Sale may or may not have named the actual creditor. Inmost cases, it does not appear that the substitution of trustee names the ac.tualcreditor, which is why the judicial states have a much larger backlog of .foreclosures than non-judicial where the pretender lenders get away withsubstituting fabricated paperwork in lieu of actual chain of title.Thus the highest probability is that if you are buying a residential piece of realestate, there are title questions that are overhanging the transaction. This is a badthing that endangers your investment and your plans but not so bad that it pan'tbe fixed. I think I would get an affidavit from Bosco saying that to his knowledgeand belief there are no facts, documents or circumstances under which anv thirdparty could claim an interest in the real property other than as stated in thecommitment- and that he is in a position to know. That affidavi t should b,executed in recordable form along with the Warranty Deed when they close.Considering what we know, an affidavit from the witnesses and notary saying thatBosco actually signed it would be in order as well and also executed inrecordable form and recorded as attachments to the deed. If they refuse to do theaffidavits, then watch out.The seller is said to be an LLC and the title company already wants to know whothat LLC is, who formed it and what chain of authority is present to convey title.There are a thousand reasons why title is being portrayed this way. But it is

    possible that Bosco was the successful bidder, that Bosco created the LLC andthat Bosco named himself as Trustee. The conveyance from husband to wifeindicates an outstanding interest in the property. If the policy contains anexception for this conveyance i t is giant loophole in title and the insurance Thecommitment says they want details on the incorporation of the LLC. I would askfor those documents as well.But overall, this is not evidence, in and of itself that the whole thing is a sham.The 24 month period referred to in the commitment represents a common lookback period for the commitment. It doesn t mean that is all the work they will do. Ithink the whammy will come when they issue the actual policy. THAT will bmaterially different from this commitment. And they say so right in thecommitment.Leaving off Schedule A, considering the naming of the Seller and buyer later on,does not seem wrong and in fact is common practice so the commitment is notused in lieu of a policy. Many people if they read anything, read the commit.;nent.The commitment is basically a preview but not the real thing. The practice in theindustry is to issue the commitment with exculpatory language such that whenthey issue a policy that is materially different from the commitment, you probablywon t notice it.I think you must take the position that the title to this property is probablyhopelessly mired in doubt and clouds. But here is what you could do. You couldfile a quiet title action based upon the questions raised by the commitment, withcooperation of T&B et al and name everyone in the universe. After the time foranswers has come and gone, the defaults are entered and final judgment isentered. Then ti tle is clear. The burden of doing so SHOULD be on the e ~ l e r butthey might insist on you doing it yourself.The lawsuit should recite the fact that there are questions of title relating to,thesecuritization or attempted securitization of the loan. It should be served on thelast known servicer and the last lender . The lawsuit should occur BEFORE theclosing which means that the seller LLC should be the plaintiff. And the dealshould be that if the Judge doesn t sign the order, there is no deal and all moneyis refunded.If you follow this I believe that you will receive something practically nobody elsehas - clear t it le. As the title issues become more and more in the news, the factthat you received a clear title order from a Judge would increase bothmarketability AND price when you want to sell it. And remember, the Final
