Peggy Williams, Risk Manager at Attorney's Title Fund Services, LLC, notified us regarding several recently recorded suspected forged deeds in Palm Beach, Broward, Seminole and Orange Counties, all to a trust that appears to be headquartered in the UK. The trust has already conveyed out to third parties in 3 transactions, 2 of which appear to have been insured by Florida underwriters. All underwriters should be on their guard for any future transactions from the trust.

I emailed a caveat, today, to the designated employees on the SAP committee email list. Please review the caveat and, if you deem it appropriate, please warn your agents to be careful about insuring transactions involving this trust.

Please email me at ghall@stewart.com if you did not receive the email, have any questions or need additional information. 

Please keep in mind that we are not identifying suspicious persons in this online forum in order to preserve the underwriters' statutory immunity from liability for sharing information.

Regards,
