Despite a decrease in California foreclosures reported for December, 2010, the foreclosure crisis in the state is going to get worse, not far better, in 2011, according to Vito Torchia, Jr., managing lawyer of Brookstone Law, Pc.

There are pending circumstances against main banks filed by state Attorney Generals throughout the nation, and the current selection in Massachusetts is an example of how main lenders are failing to prove they personal the mortgages on which they are foreclosing. There are literally millions of mortgages all through the nation in which ownership is in query. This is a crisis of the highest order and one particular that will continue to have a large impact on the state and the nation. said Vito Torchia, Jr.
