Nevada Joins States Balking at Bank Releases in Foreclosure Practices Deal


A possible settlement of a 50-state probe of foreclosure practices drew more state scrutiny as Nevada’s attorney general joined three other states in voicing concern about a deal that protects banks from continuing mortgage investigations.

Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto, whose office sued Bank of America Corp. (BAC) and is conducting civil and criminal foreclosure probes, said she will be “very cautious”about agreeing to a settlement that hinders those inquiries.

“If it’s impacting my ongoing litigation and any other future litigation or current investigation, I’m going to be cautious about whether to sign on or not,” Masto said yesterday in a phone interview.
