This evening North Carolina attorney Jim Surane will join Neil Garfield to discuss the first steps that should be taken in a Foreclosure defense case. Surane states that, "A thorough title search of the property being subject to foreclosure is an absolute necessity. This includes researching back to the plat in the case of a home in a subdivision, and back 30 years in a case in which the property is not in a subdivision." Surane has won many cases based upon errors in the chain of title. "It must be remembered that a large majority of the mortgages that we deal with today were closed between the years of 1992 – 2007. During these years, closing attorneys and lenders were overwhelmed with business, and as a result many errors in preparing documents that compromised the lenders lien rights." Surane will outline the steps that should be taken in order to properly prepare to defend a foreclosure case including: Errors in the legal descriptionsThe legal description was attached at the time the deed of trust was signedErrors in the timing of the recordation of documents in the chain of titleErrors in the spelling of the grantor or grantee namesBoth Grantors names in the body of the Deed of Trust and not just signedFailure to include all necessary signatures on deeds Attorney James Surane is located in Cornelius, North Carolina.
