- Arizona Bill Would Void Foreclosures Without a Full Title History | Legal News | News Ticker
People have been encountering serious financial problems in Arizona for many reasons, and one of the foundations of all of these problems involves the mortgages that people can no longer pay after variable rates are recalculated. Unfortunately, this ongoing problem has led to a record number of foreclosure filings and the need by many people to seek the help of an Arizona bankruptcy lawyer as soon as possible in an attempt to save their homes. However, there could be good news on the way that could help countless Arizona homeowners avoid having to take these steps.
Specifically, a bill is making its way through the legislature that would require lenders to produce a clear chain of title to the borrower before proceeding with a foreclosure. Foreclosures that took place without meeting this requirement would be deemed void under Arizona law. Basically, this law would require lenders to communicate with borrowers how they came to possess the title on their home, who the creditors who own the note are and how they have any right to proceed to take back the property in question.
The bill is seen as potentially good news by consumer advocacy groups, consumers themselves and Arizona bankruptcy lawyers who have been clamoring for some sort of law to be put in place that would prevent the growing number of foreclosures that are being done with shoddy or even nonexistent documentation that provides evidence of the right of lenders to take the property back from the borrower and to sell it. The buying and selling of mortgages and mortgage-backed securities has been one of the developments that has led to this problem.

Clearly, if this bill becomes law it would provide some leverage to borrowers who to this point have had little choice but to file for bankruptcy in an attempt to save their homes or to simply give their homes back to their lender. Therefore, this requirement would likely lower the current foreclosure rate, which currently sits at one in every 175 homes in the state and likely provide different options for those borrowers who have encountered a wider range of financial problems than their delinquent mortgages.

I have been with Phillips Law Group for a little over a year and I have learned what teamwork and family in a workplace looks like. There is always someone around to lend a helping hand, which is something I appreciate and cherish. I feel a sense of joy coming to work every day because of my co-workers as well as being able to help people in what can be a scary and stressful situation. I currently work as a Litigation Legal Assistant with an amazing team. When I started here, I was not very knowledgeable in personal injury. I was lucky to have been placed with an amazing team who was willing to take time to teach and pass on some great skills that have been a huge aid in helping me be successful in my position. I would recommend working here at Phillips Law Group, because they care about their employees and there is so much room for growth.

It’s an Honor and a Privilege to work for a company that cares about its employees and clients for 12 years. I’ve seen Management go out of their way to help someone whether it’s a personal matter or work related. I am also reminded of many occasions where a Client needed urgent help and we as a Team were able to get the person immediate assistance. At Phillips Law we make that happen through Teamwork and a dedication to our profession. I’ve had numerous jobs in several other fields, those were just jobs. This is a home. Many of us have been here for quite a few years, it feels like one large extended family.
