Nevada Foreclosure Process Slowed by Recent Legal Changes
2012-08-10
A Nevada law that went into effect in October 2011 with the intent of helping to stabilize the housing market has had the opposite effect, some critics say. The new law makes it a felony for lenders to foreclose on properties without first proving that they own the mortgage.
Passed in the wake of last year's robo-signing foreclosure scandal, in which several major mortgage lenders were accused of foreclosing on homes without verifying the necessary paperwork, Nevada lawmakers hoped the new measure would revitalize the housing market by reassuring buyers that they would ...

2012-08-10
Despite recent signs of stabilization in the real estate market, many experts predict that a new wave of home foreclosures is in store for Indiana and other states where lenders have been slow to work through the foreclosure backlog created during the 2011 robo-signing investigations.
