Robo-signed documents used in foreclosure actions may leave lasting impacts in property records for decades. Buyers of foreclosed properties may face difficulties proving they hold clear title to the properties if their ownership is ever challenged. One of the biggest concerns stems from whether or not homeowners were given proper notice of foreclosure actions and/or of the foreclosure sales. If the notice requirements are not strictly complied with, the Court may not have jurisdiction over the case and the action could be ended.
Another concern is the long-lasting impact on the legal system. The production of fraudulent documents, meant to look genuine and fool the legal system, may be depriving people of some of their legal rights. If that is not enough, people are swearing they are vice presidents of companies they do not work for and signing affidavits stating they have personal knowledge over the subject matter when they do not. Citizens' confidence in the legal system has been and is currently being damaged. Foreclosing banks are being allowed to get by with sloppy paperwork and questionable signatures, but homeowners would never be able to do the same. Missed mortgage payments, do not give banks the right to enter a court of law and take someone's home with the use of false documents.
