July 21, 2011 371 WHEREAS implicit in American society is the state’s protection of property rights in a formal property system where ownership and transactions are clearly recorded. These property rights and the whole formal system of property make possible clear, provable, and protectable ownership; and WHEREAS national media has highlighted the wide-scale practice within the mortgage and loan servicing industry in which mortgage, mortgage assignment, promissory notes, and foreclosure documents have been fabricated, improperly altered and/or have sworn to false facts; and WHEREAS investigations across the nation have identified thousands of phony signatures and “robo-signing” on documents used to foreclose on homeowner’s property. These illegal actions, often by large bank or mortgage finance institutions, are exacerbating the mortgage crisis; and WHEREAS robo-signing is described as the robotic process of mass producing false and forged execution of mortgage assignments, satisfactions, affidavits and other legal documents related to mortgage foreclosures and legal matters that are being created by persons without knowledge of the facts or actual review of the documents in question. It also includes accusations of notary fraud on these documents; and WHEREAS Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard, Jr. has initiated an investigation in Oakland County to review Assignment of Mortgage and other recorded documents; and WHEREAS as a result of the internal review of recorded documents in Oakland County, already, numerous Assignment of Mortgage documents have been identified which appear to contain fraudulent signatures and/or notarization. The office has also uncovered the appearance of a serious pattern of document fraud on the part of numerous national financial institutions; and WHEREAS Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard, Jr. has requested Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Cooper to investigate and address any proven fraudulent criminal activity; and WHEREAS the recording and maintenance of accurate, authentic property records is a fundamental principle of homeownership and the protection of property rights, which must be held to the highest standards at all times. NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, hereby applaud and support the efforts of Oakland County Clerk/Register of Deeds Bill Bullard, Jr. to seek a formal criminal investigation of alleged recorded document fraud and legal recourse on behalf of the people of Oakland County. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of Commissioners urges State of Michigan Attorney General Bill Schuette and Oakland County Prosecuting Attorney Jessica Cooper to use the powers of their offices in response to the request for an investigation of suspected forgery of mortgage documents.
