Since I am not an attorney and out of the curiosity. I looked up the process of initiating a foreclosure, there seems to be at least 7 steps (https://upsolve.org/learn/7-steps-nonjudicial-foreclosure/). So in each of those steps is the opportunity uncover such fraudulent actions. In our role, we have a chance to uncover fraud, by noticing people’s behavior, viewing signer’s identifications, and viewing the documents for any potential errors. In the article case, the Notary Public wasn’t part of the process, so it up to the financial institutions, county clerk offices, and courts. It’s our awareness of these types of situations that helps us in our duties.
