ANTI-FORECLOSURE FRAUD LAWS

AB 284 (2011) summary and legislative digest

Nevada’s 2011 anti-foreclosure fraud “robo-signing” bill amended NRS 107 and NRS 205 to make these changes:

  1. specifies duties of the trustee;
  2. assignments not effective unless and until recorded;
  3. a notarized affidavit under penalty of perjury that the lender or trustee is in actual possession of the note;
  4. civil penalties for mortgage lending fraud;
  5. Section 9 amends NRS 107.080, which is one of the main statutes related to foreclosures.
  6. It requires a notice of default or “NOD” to include a notarized affidavit of the trustee’s authority to exercise the power of sale.
  7. The affidavit must spell out all the money that is owed, and must include a statement under penalty of perjury that the lender or the trustee is in actual possession of the note.
  8. As in section 6, it sets forth civil penalties for violations.

NRS 107.028 Trustees: Qualifications; limitations on powers

2.  A trustee under a deed of trust must not be the beneficiary of the deed of trust for the purposes of exercising the power of sale pursuant to NRS 107.080.
