I was just handed a smoking gun on this issue.  As I've posted in the past, garnering some skepticism from colleagues who troll these forums, my competitors' firm of Pasion Title Services has been robosigning Notice of Default and Notice of Trustee Sale documents for years.

   I was just accidentally looped into one of their email conversations whereby their filing agent asks one of their co-workers to print a copy of a pending NOD so that he can pick it up this afternoon, sign it and place it on the record against the owner's title. 

   As I've noted in the forum posts previously, for me, this has been status quo here in San Mateo County, California, as I've been seeing this for a long time (years).

   As I've noted, I don't care if a  corporate firm has some authorized or unauthorized people signing for them as it is their clear intent to have done.  There's no military "chain of authorization" structure necessary here.....EXCEPT that these actions are not taken in sole regard to corporate property (i.e. the warehouse manager is out so a contractor scribbles an shipping invoice for a new desk at the main office), but rather, materially affects the title rights of the homeowners.  If the corporation can get away with doing the wrong thing in an unauthorized manner and our legal system puts a rubber stamp on it because it has a ring of truthieness, then we have flawed processes that can disenfranchise any of us from our basic rights.
