Lending Processing Unit Indicted For Forgery By Missouri Grand Jury

Docx LLC, which is a unit of Lender Processing Services Inc., has been charged by a Missouri grand jury in a 136-count indictment accusing the company of forgery and making a false declaration related to mortgage documents it processed. According to the indictment, which also named Docx founder Lorraine Brown, a person who's name appears on 68 notarized deeds of release didn't in fact sign the paperwork. Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster said, “When you sign your name to a legal document, it matters. Mass-producing fraudulent signatures on millions of real estate documents across America constitutes forgery.”
