Brian and Holly Barnhart thought they were home free when they bought their Cape Coral dream house from Wells Fargo Bank – but the bank didn’t even own the house.
Now the Barnharts, who emptied their life savings to buy the house for $153,000 cash and renovate it for another $80,000, are stuck in limbo along with their two small children and a baby due in July.

Yet another example of the value of purchasing an Owner’s Policy of Title Insurance from a reputable title insurer, and having an attorney represent you for your closing.
Just what I want to do….have the same lawyer smucks who have screwed up the system review and close my purchase…really
Here in New York Supreme Court I have had Astoria Federal S & L
admit they didn’t own my two condos when their corrupt debt collector attorneys (Mullooly, Jeffrey Rooney & Flynn) auctioned them off to Straw buyers.
Those attorneys are gone from Astoria Federal and the bank’s new attorney Mr. Arthur Walsh of O’Reilly, Marsh & Corteselli stated in NYSC in front of Judge Alice Schlesinger It’s Indemnify, Indemnify, Indemnnify -we are stepping aside and the title attorneys are stepping in.
Unfortunately who stepped in was Frank P Malone of the corrupt firm Fidelity National Title and the corrupt attorney David K Fiveson of a company he called Coronet Title who didn’t want to indemnify their clients and instead paid a bribe to Judge Schlesinger to rule their Forged Deeds are good.
This is going to be another battle for true homeowners when your dealing with a company like Fidelity that specializes in making forgeries.
