Part 3 "Follow Up For Complicated Legal Issue"

[William Hall]

OK BP family, I need your advice again. I am the one that had the issue with the crooked broker, lazy attorney, so on & so forth. If you are new to my dilemma, I created 2 others threads on this issue. Last week, I fished out all the original documents (Deed of Trust, Settlement, Promissory Note, and Original Judgment)and attempted to record them. The Orange County Recorder rejected the DOT saying the notary's acknowledgment was on the wrong form. I fired off a complaint form to the CA Secretary of State today after searching for the notary, finding two public phone listings for her (both disconnected). I remembered notaries have to carry bonds, so I went to the LA County Recorder to get her bond information. The examiners there stated the whole DOT is no good; the form it is on went out of use Jan. 1, 2008. My DOT is dated Oct. 2008. The examiners also said the defendant and notary should have known both forms (DOT & acknowledgment) would have been unrecordable anyway.

Also found an internet publication that shows her and the defendant as business partners in 2011.

Question 1: Now that I have her bond info, will it cover her errors committed in 2008? What procedures will I have to go thru? Her commission expired in 2010, and she has not renewed it.

I pulled up the defendant's info while I was @ the recorder's (LA County doesn't have online info). I discovered today someone just sued him last month and was granted a judgment for $240K. He is also being sued by another party in a neighboring county (Riverside).

Question 2: Should I approach either of those attorneys by phone to represent me? Would they see my case/claim as a threat to their client's payoff? I e-mailed the atty that's suing him in Riverside County, he never responded.

Q3: Since the DOT was unrecordable in the first place, is the defendant's attorney also liable since he signed the settlement? Remember settlement, promissory note and DOT are all attached.
