Securitization Audits for Foreclosure Defense Litigation
A Securitization Audit is a process by which an Auditor or Investigator puts together a comprehensive report and document that shows what happened to a specific loan, where the money went and to which investment vehicle it ended up in. This can be very important in foreclosure defense cases and litigation against lenders. Each state is set up differently and there are judicial and non-judicial review foreclosure rules.
Securitization is the process by which residential and commercial real property mortgage loans are bundled and sold to investors. Investors such as Goldman Sachs, DeutschBank, Countrywide, Wells Fargo, etc. routinely sell or purchase large blocks of loans and place them into trusts or REMICs (Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits). Shares of those are then sold to other investors. Securitization can occur months after the origination of the loan or it can occur immediately after origination. Approximately 85 percent of portgage loans are securitized. Please be aware that not all loans are securitized. It is important to know if your loan was in the 85 percent before hiring someone to conduct your securitization audit.
If you are a bankruptcy or real estate attorney or otherwise have the need to obtain documentation on the holder of your client's mortgage note and or it's securitization history, Right Path Investigations can provide you with court ready information and documentation.

Secure Email Certificates
Email Security
Secure Email Certificates - Information Security
Author: Jeff Berns, Owner/CEO Right Path Investigations March 15, 2011
In today's information age data security is becoming a crucial area of emphasis as online business and ecommerce moves toward a more mainstream user base. Corporations, government and law firms are sending more sensitive and confidential information via email than ever before. Many companies have capitalized on this and are now offering Secure Email Certificates.
Email certificates also known as SMIME certificates, are digital certificates that can be used to sign and encrypt email messages. When you sign an email using an email certificate, only the person that you sent it to can decrypt and read the email. The recipient can also be sure that the email hasn’t been changed in any way.
If you don’t use an email certificate, your emails can be read by anyone, or any server, that is used to pass the emails to the recipient. This can be a lot people. This would be like sending a letter through the mail so that all of the postal workers and anyone who really wants to can read it. With an email certificate, you are 100% guaranteed to have secure email while it is being transmitted.
Some email servers use a different kind of certificate called a server authentication SSL certificate. This secures all email transmissions from the server to your local computer, but once you send an email to another email account on another email server, it leaves the safe haven and travels to the unprotected lines of the Internet where anyone can read it. An SMIME certificate ensures end-to-end security.
A few companies reputable that offer an excellent product at a reasonable price are CACert, Comodo, Digicert, Entrust, Geotrust, Startcom, and Verisign. If you are going to send sensitive information via email make sure you are using a reputable company and you may not want to go with free encryption services unless it is being offered by one of these reputable company. For example Comodo offers a free version of a Secure Email Certificate http://www.instantssl.com/ssl-certificate-products/free-email-certificate.html
My hope is that this information was helpful to you and may have prevented a breach in your company or organizations data security. Information, research and finding the solution it is what I love to do. Happy trails.
