April 9
Patricia Lutz vs. Branch Banking & Trust Co., Kevin Bernhard and BB&T
Collateral Services Corp.
PA - James Kratovil; J - David Sanders
* Lutz claims she co-owned property with Anne Belle McKinney, who entered a deed of trust with the defendants on Aug. 17, 2005. McKinney passed away July 6, 2006. Lutz claims that when she tried to sell the property in December 2006, she learned about the deed of trust, which she did not sign. She claims her signature on the deed of trust was forged, and the defendants should have questioned the document because it lacked a notarization as required by state law. She is seeking at least $100,000 plus other relief.
