If you think it is, I'd attempt to explain to the interested heir that without a will, or a deed in his name, or a completed probate, his alleged interest is not worth much, but if the property is considerably more valuable than what is owed on the taxes, I'd offer him something. 

Good luck and I hope you take a very hard line on this if the allegations are found to be true.

the judge called the charges levied against Ocwen and Altisource “extremely troubling,” as the plaintiffs allegations are “bolstered” by other consent orders and settlements Ocwen has previously entered into, like in New York, for example.""

Welllll......that's not a science, but after a few losers, you start to see and feel the signs during screening processes:  Difficult to verify income despite alleged long term employment, previously lived with parents for 5 years (unless they got a killer job, what has changed?)

Holding all else equal, your residential mortgage's interest rate will be 0.25% better, or about 1 discount point better (your choice).Currently, mortgage banks, brokers, and credit unions, are essentially run by compliance lawyers that earn more than they would/should, if not for the fact that a single alleged unproven infraction can easily be several million dollars in fines.

The foreclosure process is allegedly well under way, and slated within the next 90 days.  

@Allana AlexI’ve been allegedly seeing similar “bad” deals like this going on.

If LLC A has $2,000,000 in assets and LLC B only has $1,000,000 but LLC B gets in trouble -- lawsuit from a tenant alleging negligence on your part led to her falling down an improperly maintained stairs with a baby, and this led to her and the baby all sorts of injuries, cracked skull etc..If the court enters a judgement of say $1,500,000 against LLC B, the most you can loose in whole is the $1,000,000 of assets in LLC B.

If you want to ask questions of us, that is more than acceptable, but to direct statements at us that may come off derogatory or disparaging is unfair.These allegations are damaging to the reputation of a company that has always been open and communicative with potential borrowers.
