Kemp, Nice leg work. All of this puts me in mind of the Militia antics where they still claimed to come under the Gold Standard and that they had attended classes in Wisconsin that taught them how to avoid taxes and the legal/criminal justice systems. That they would preface signatures on official documents (drivers licenses and the such) with “:” and then printed their names. Very strange indeed.

@Mike Peterson - Great info, thanks. I had not heard of that one, although I can see how someone might be able to convince themselves (falsely) of its effectiveness. @cholzsch - Thanks. I had to quit and come back to it several times. People wonder why real estate lawyers and title companies/insurance cost so much - it's because of the endless ways that exist for people to screw up title to their property.

Great writing! I too have been following this saga, and read Chuck Welch’s original article. I started doing my own title search on the property, and was astonished at all the inconsistencies and fraudulently appearing documents recorded thus far. I actually had to quit as my head started swirling trying to keep track of it all. I’m sure we haven’t heard the rest of the story yet.

Nice breakdown.

Just a note on the UCC Statement. This is another scheme I have heard of where you file a UCC on your own home to attempt to avoid foreclosure.

Supposedly when the lender attempts to foreclose the filed UCC has you with a lien against the property thus stalling the foreclosure.

I haven’t heard of the scheme working, just people purporting that it does.

Kemp, I agree with everything Chuck said in his comment above. I’ve been following this story and found your post fascinating.

If there is someone who can turn legal documents into an interesting movie, I can’t either.

Thanks. I think the Property Appraiser listed them in the wrong order, too.
