Why New York Foreclosures Are Grinding to a Halt
(Daily Finance) — On Oct. 20, New York State Chief Judge Jonathan Lippman ended robo-signing in New York state foreclosures by requiring a special affirmation from the banks’ attorneys. They now must swear that they know the banks’ documents are true because they checked the paperwork. At the time, attorneys in the state told me that they expected foreclosure filings by the big banks to halt, or nearly so, for up to several months. Eventually, they said, the banks and their attorneys would create a new process that allowed the attorneys to make the affirmations.
