Happy Holidays from Nationwide Title Clearing!

Happy Holidays!!

In the spirit of the season and in lieu of extravagant gifts, this year Nationwide Title Clearing has made a donation to The National Breast Cancer Foundation and The Cherish the Children Foundation, a local charity for foster children. We also were an official Toys for Tots drop off site and collected 2 large boxes of new toys for needy children.

Our wish is that you have much joy and happiness this holiday season and a prosperous year to come!

From the executives and staff of Nationwide Title Clearing.

Nationwide Title Clearing does not prepare foreclosure documents

Nationwide Title Clearing is not involved in the default or foreclosure side of the business and does not prepare any documents as part of the foreclosure process. NTC has no foreclosure attorneys on staff, nor is NTC directly involved in any process that removes borrowers from their homes. Moreover, we certainly do not prepare documents that are specifically related to foreclosures and we never have. The owners of NTC have always maintained that they do not want NTC to be in the business of removing people from their homes, even if warranted.

The documents we do prepare on behalf of our clients exist throughout the natural life of every healthy loan. In fact, the majority of the documents we prepare release mortgage loans that have been paid in full, either from a home sale, refinance or through a full payoff.

Although quite a large portion of our business is not related to preparing or signing documents, our document preparation services are based solely to fulfill normally required filings for loans in which the borrowers are NOT in foreclosure. In fact, NTC loses business and work when borrowers lose their homes, as our largest document preparation service (lien releases), requires the loan to be paid off via a refinance or sale. A lien release document is not required when a house is foreclosed upon.

Although many documents previously prepared and recorded regarding mortgages including the Note and Mortgage itself are often presented in foreclosures, the types of documents we prepare are typically prior to any loan going into foreclosure. To say Nationwide Title Clearing prepares foreclosure documents would be like saying the person who initially prepared your Mortgage or Note is somehow directly involved in your foreclosure.

For over 18 years, we have helped keep mortgage lenders and servicers in compliance with State statutes that are designed to protect borrowers, and we have helped tens of millions of borrowers directly through that process.

How and when can Nationwide Title Clearing sign documents?

Through legal contracts, corporate resolutions and power of attorney documents that grant specific signing authority to Nationwide Title Clearing, NTC is legally authorized by our clients, which includes many of the top national mortgage lenders and servicers, to prepare and often sign/notarize assignment and lien release documents and submit them for recording to jurisdictions across the country. Nationwide Title Clearing does not sign a document unless a) the specific legal authority for that company being signed for has been verified and correctly granted and b) that specific document has been ordered with NTC by the client who legally granted the authority.

Nationwide Title Clearing’s signing and notary practices have been audited and reviewed by our clients and independent auditors and deemed to be compliant to the banking and legal standards required. NTC specializes in researching and keeping up to date with all the laws, regulations, document format guidelines and document filing procedures with regard to preparing mortgage assignments and lien releases. The documents that we prepare are legitimate, reviewed by attorneys to be compliant with the law, and properly executed and notarized. Our documents and forms are guaranteed to be accepted for recording by the county and to comply with the law.
