JPMorgan Chase warns attorneys of possible foreclosure robo-signers

JPMorgan Chase last night alerted attorneys that employees in its foreclosure operations unit may have signed affidavits without personally reviewing the documents, the same issue that has recently plagued GMAC Mortgage, according to a memo obtained by HousingWire.

Thomas Kelly, a spokesman for JPMorgan Chase, has confirmed information in the memo to HousingWire.
