,, and many other mainstream news publications, Green signed and allowed her name to be signed by other people when process land-related documents. Her signatures were used to transfer real-estate, foreclose on people, and to mark loans as paid-off.
The "Linda Green" signers were apparently sometimes high-school students and were reportedly referred to as "surrogates." Experts say the forged documents may cloud title to an enormous number of houses, requiring people who are current on their mortgages to work through the paperwork to clean up the fraud. Additionally, people who purchased foreclosed homes which "Linda Green" signed for may not have a valid title to those houses.
