They don't want the new owner "defending" his property from a previous owner.

Don't buy from a company that won't honor claims; and won't defend policy holders.

He said maybe the PA department of revenue would audit me, but I could defend it because it was me to me.

Threatened with steep fines, after sending the certified letter, the threats disappeared, as the city (in this case Los Angeles), decides they don't have the budget to fight the US federal government in court, and lose (which happens every time the feds have defended the Fair Housing Act).  

@Mary JayMakes no difference here....The difference is just that the Seller is promising to defend claims on title to the Buyer occurring for different periods.  

If they attempt to contact you to argue the charges, simply tell them you have everything heavily documented and are prepared to defend your position in court.I'm a business so my process is slightly different.

There simply is no excuse or logical way to defend breaking into business's and stealing everything..

Actually, it’s also part of the law, as defendants can’t use that line as an excuse for inadvertently committing a crime.

Hey @Chris Howell you were really starting to annoy me the way you defend someone who is scamming money from you.

After that, what the document is calling a second & third mortgage for lesser amounts were issued.In the court documents, the defendants include the initial lender, as well as the other lien holders - the HOA, the local government, the US government, and the 2nd & 3rd mortgage lenders.It looks like the company issuing the  Lis Pendens bought / obtained the paper from the lender (what they are calling the 1st mortgage, but is really the second) and is the plaintiff in the case.I am guessing (unless the original amount was paid off) it is therefore a foreclosure by a junior interest.
