Keynote Speaker- Attorney General Jack Conway
In November 2011, Jack Conway was elected to a second term as the 49th Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. Jack is committed to working with local leaders and law-enforcement officers to make Kentucky a safer place to live work and raise a family. Jack is a member of NAAG, DAGA, the Kentucky Bar Association and the Louisville Bar Association. He previously served on the boards of the Muhammad Ali Center and the African American Heritage Center.
Attorney General Jack Conway has taken a strong leadership role in responding to the mortgage foreclosure crisis. When he announced Kentucky’s participation in the historic $25 billion national mortgage foreclosure settlement, he assured consumers that his work on this issue was not over. During negotiations for the mortgage foreclosure settlement, General Conway felt Kentucky had significant civil claims against Mortgage Electronic Registration Systems, Inc. (MERS), the privately- held electronic registry that tracks servicing rights and ownership of mortgage loans in the United States. In fact, he ensured that language was inserted into the settlement agreement that preserved states’ abilities to pursue claims against MERS.
MERS is a ghost and a façade that undermines Kentucky’s public reporting statutes. That’s why on January 23, General Conway filed a lawsuit in Franklin Circuit Court against MERSCORP Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary MERS for violations of Kentucky law. Kentucky joins Delaware, New York and Massachusetts in taking legal action against MERS.
The lawsuit alleges that MERS violated Kentucky law by failing to record mortgage assignments with County Clerks when mortgages were sold or transferred from one entity to another. Attorney General Conway also believes MERS ripped off the Commonwealth of Kentucky and the trust fund by failing to pay the required recording fees. By creating a system that provides absolutely no public record of sales or transactions, MERS has destroyed the integrity of the public land recording system in the Commonwealth. As a result of not publicly recording the mortgage assignments and paying the required fees, the lawsuit also alleges that MERS violated Kentucky’s Consumer Protection Act by committing unfair, false and misleading conduct.
This is just one of several steps Attorney General Conway has taken to hold accountable those responsible for the mortgage foreclosure crisis and to help homeowners who were affected when the housing market collapsed.
Join us at the 2013 Annual Meeting to hear Attorney General Conway’s thoughts on strategies to respond to the mortgage foreclosure crisis and other housing issues facing the Commonwealth.
