Course Materials

This CLE course will provide banking and financing counsel with a review of the latest trends and developments in mortgage fraud suits. The panel will discuss likely plaintiffs and targeted defendants, current and emerging theories of liability, key defenses, and red flags to detect or prevent mortgage fraud.

Description

Mortgage fraud is emerging as a key basis for suits in the wake of the financial meltdown and will impact counsel overseeing actions for government agencies, borrowers, lenders and professional service providers alike.

Entities bringing these actions include state prosecutors and attorneys general, and federal agencies, including the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation is aggressively seeking recovery for fraud in mortgages held by banks under its receivership.

Typical defendants include loan originators, appraisers, mortgage brokers, settlement agents, including title companies and attorneys, and borrowers. Banks and financial institutions are often defendants when it is evident they were active participants as opposed to unknowing victims.

Listen as our authoritative panel of financial services litigators discusses the trends in mortgage fraud litigation, theories of liability and key defenses, as well as red flags for detecting potential fraudulent schemes.
