In the wake of rising property taxes, food inflation, and outrageous rents, Montana’s 4th largest county, Flathead County, could be facing a lawsuit in excess of $200 Million dollars because of an error by the Flathead County Clerk & Recorders Office, headed by Debbie Pierson.
...
The property in question is a 500+ acre tract of land in Somers, MT and was once wholly owned by Thorco, Inc., who has been trying to re-acquire the property for over 10 years. After several protracted court battles, settlement hearings, and even a hearing in front of the Montana Banking Oversight Committee, Thorco legally received their rightful property, and the recording thereof, on May 12, 2022 with the filing of a quitclaim deed by Title Financial Specialty Services (TFSS) on behalf of Whitefish Credit Union (WCU).
...
The document issued by TFSS and recorded by the Flathead County Clerk’s office can be seen
...
The problem, and probable crime, in the Thorco case occurred 25 days after TFSS filed the quitclaim deed and release of mortgage with the Flathead County Clerk & Recorder, when WCU CEO James Kenyon filed a “Corrected Release of Mortgage,” which was recorded by Debbie Pierson’s office.
...
The issue with the Kenyon letter above is that James Kenton did not have power of attorney to transfer property into WCU’s name, and Debbie Pierson recorded it anyways. Afterwards, agents of WCU sold parts of the stolen property to make the recovery by Thorco laborious and costly.
To add insult to injury, the following Montana “officials” know all about the theft of Thorco’s property by Whitefish Credit Union and have either dismissed it, helped cover it up, or passed the buck.
Governor Greg Gianforte
Attorney General Austin Knudsen
Montana Banking Commissioner Melanie Hall
Head of the Montana Dept. of Administration Misty Giles
In addition, all 3 Flathead County Commissioners were also notified of the theft of Thorco’s property, but to this point have not acted.
The ramifications of what has been outlined above is potentially devasting to every single homeowner in Flathead Valley. If James Kenyon can transfer $50 million in real property without proper legal authorization, what’s to stop him, or anyone else, from taking the property that you live in now?
To further illustrate the breadth and depth of the apparent crimes perpetrated by WCU and its agents, take the time to examine the expert witness report below issued by Gerald Fritts, who was a Vice President of a large bank for over 15 years.
...
As a result of the above illegal land transfer, Thorco, Inc. will most certainly be filing a lawsuit in excess of $200 Million in damages against Flathead County, if the property is not returned to the Thorco estate immediately.
That is scary.
Shades of whitewater…
Lots of criminal scamers out there.
I own 18 acres of scrub woodlands for deer-hunting. Every couple of months I get letters offering to purchase it. I have heard that if you sign their paper and send it back they use it to steal the title of your land.
Hard to tell, but I think Thorco is trying to blame Pierson and the State for illegal deed recordings that they have no knowledge of.
Follow the money. If there is no money trail to Peirson.....
WHY would you sign it then? If you sign they don’t use it to steal title because you have agreed to sell.
Criminals tried to steal Elvis’ estate from his grand daughter recently.
Try reading what I said. Reading comprehension is your friend.
TITLE LOCK-—
CALLING TITLE LOCK-——
James Kenyon ....... James Kenton?
Apparently they have no editors at VBN...........
YUP
I used to get 4-10 calls a week to sell my property.
Don’t know EXACTLY why the calls have stopped—for now.
MAYBE because I was swearing at them in high decibels whenever I got such calls.
ALMOST every call: ENGLISH was NOT their first language.
My bet is you call them and suddenly your title gets stolen.
Has James Kenyon been watching “Yellowstone”?
You need to consider getting out of the other side of the bed each morning.......
After my last post you suddenly went dark. That's so unlike you. Are you OK?
Just to refresh your memory, this is where we left off before you mysteriously disappeared.
Answer my question, please.
NO.
Get up on the right side of the bed tomorrow.
At least in my state, the Auditor has a duty to record any facially correct document that purports to affect the title to real property presented for recording and has no right or obligation to inquire into the authority of the person who signed it.
“...and has no right or obligation to inquire into the authority of the person who signed it.”
Sounds like something where the process needs to be enhanced.
Drive Home Title Lock/Deed Lock out of business.
Clerks are there to record documents, not render legal opinions.
