NEW EVIDENCE OF FORGERY – NOT ADJUDICATED BY A COURT!
We are seeking a Real Estate Lawyer to rescind the illegal transactions of two properties bequeathed to me, Jonathan Osborne, and to demand a criminal investigation into the invalid execution of my father’s Will. A police report was filed with Pierce County Sheriff’s Department/Pierce County Law Enforcement, on May 2, 2018, for an investigation into this matter.
I, Jonathan Osborne and I, Deborah Osborne, mother, take full responsibility for the facts presented in this blog. We have made several attempts to tell our story without being obstructed of these facts. The information is truthful and consists of emails, public documents, court records, official meetings, the law of the will, and the applicable rule and laws of Washington State.
We are sharing our story for support, public awareness, and to get justice for the illegal transfer of real property. We believe our evidence is timely and sufficient to win on these charges, and ask that Washington State Attorney General, Bob Ferguson initiate a criminal investigation and prosecute and convict persons accused of these alleged crimes.
Mr. Lester L. Osborne, Jr. passed away October 13, 2014, leaving two properties along with the remainder of the estate in his will specifically to Jonathan Osborne, sole heir and beneficiary. The properties were not distributed to Jonathan according to the terms of the Will; instead the Spanaway, WA property was maliciously and fraudulently transferred through forged real estate transactions by a step-cousin, Personal Representative (PR) aka Executor, Lateefah Abdullah (aka Lateefah Gross), her alleged boyfriend, Donnell Jackson, father of her youngest daughter, Grady Brown, Real Estate Broker, Skyline Properties, and Nextitle a Title and Escrow Company.
THEFT BY DECEPTION with INTENT TO DEFRAUD. On October 18, 2014, Jonathan met with Ms. Abdullah and informed her of his interest to keep both properties and inquired about the estate’s debt picture since Deborah was willing to pay off the estate’s debt.
On October 20, 2014, Ms. Abdullah forwarded an email to Jonathan from her then attorney of record Sean Bleck, stating “….if he or his mother want to separately find a way to pay off the debts of the estate, that could allow you then to distribute the assets to him. But, we won’t really know the debt picture until the creditor’s claim period is over after 4-months.”
The 4-month creditor’s claim period started October 30, 2014 and would have ended March 1, 2015. The properties were sold before the creditor claim period was ever started. Ms. Abdullah sold the Spanaway property just 3-days after she was appointed October 27, 2014. According to public record, the Spanaway property was listed on October 30, 2014, with Grady Brown, Real Estate Broker, Skyline Properties, and pending escrow October 31, 2014.
The purchase and sale agreements were allegedly signed on or around October 22, 2014, just two days after Mr. Bleck’s email to Jonathan, and prior to Ms. Abdullah’s appointment to PR. Jonathan was not notified of any of these activities, and therefore not able to evaluate the integrity of the sales or granted a “Person(s) entitled to judicial proceedings for declaration of rights or legal relations” RCW 11.96A.080; as required by law.
The sales were allegedly in progress while Mr. Osborne was gravely ill, to have sold in just 3-days. Mr. Osborne wishes were not executed by Ms. Abdullah as specified in his will, the estate was liquidated in spite of Jonathan’s objections to the sales.
Copies of the purchase and sales agreements were requested on November 19, 2014, by Jonathan’s then attorney of record, Karolyn Hicks, Stokes Lawrence, P.S., pursuant to RCW 11.28.240 “Request for Special Notice” along with a “Cease to Desist” letter served to Ms. Abdullah’s then attorneys of record Sean Bleck and Sara Kiviat Berkenwald; after learning of the sales on November 11, 2014.
Mr. Bleck insisted that he did not have a copy of the purchase and sales agreements, stated in an email “I am still trying to get client authorization…” when in fact, the sale was pending escrow.
The estate was noted Insolvent November 18, 2014, per Mr. Bleck, confirmed in an email. This means, Ms. Abdullah was restricted of her nonintervention powers; after an estate becomes insolvent the court decides through judicial proceedings if the sales are necessary; not a PR and her attorney. Ms. Abdullah committed fraud upon the court, for failure to notify the court of the Insolvency.
According to RCW 11.68.080 “Vacation or restriction of nonintervention power following Insolvency – Notice – Determinations affecting prior grants or nonintervention powers upon petition – Endorsement on prior orders.”
Ms. Abdullah was required within 10-days after receiving from alleged creditor’s claims and taxes which would appear to cause the estate’s insolvency, to notify the beneficiary and unpaid creditors, then file a copy of the written notice with the court. Then, within 10-days after the estate becomes insolvent, petition under RCW 11.96A.080 “Persons entitled to judicial proceedings for declaration of rights or legal relations.” Notice of a hearing must be given in accordance with RCW 11.96A.110 “Notice of judicial proceedings under this title is requiring notice.” None of these required processes were followed.
Ms. Abdullah agreed to a meeting scheduled for December 11, 2014, to discuss her activities with the estate, including the accounting; Ms. Abdullah did not attend the meeting. (Unbeknownst to Jonathan and Deborah) Ms. Abdullah was preparing to close on the property in spite of Jonathan’s objection.
TITLE AND CLOSING OF ESCROW. On December 12, 2014, Ms. Abdullah and Mr. Jackson were scheduled to sign escrow documents with Nextitle; except Mr. Jackson was not present at closing.
Ms. Abdullah was restricted of her nonintervention power, and did not have legal representation on December 12, 2014; her attorneys Sean R. Bleck and Sara R. Kiviat Berkenwald withdrew November 24, 2014, effective immediately.
REAL ESTATE EXCISE TAX AFFIDAVIT DOCUMENT FORGED. Ms. Abdullah forged the real estate excise tax affidavit at closing. In Section 1 of the document, it requires the Seller/Grantor’s name, JONATHAN OSBORNE, instead the document states “The Heirs and Devisees of Lester L. Osborne, Jr., deceased” which implies there are more than one heir. Mr. Osborne’s will is clear that Jonathan is sole heir and beneficiary. The document requires Seller/Grantor’s address, JONATHAN OSBORNE address, instead the document listed the address of former attorney Mr. Bleck’s law firm, Isenhour Bleck, P.L.L.C., 1200 Fifth Avenue, Suite 2020, Seattle, WA 98101. This is forgery. The sale was executed and “filed for record” with Pierce County Assessor’s Office without consent from Jonathan, the Will or the Superior Court.
The document shows Ms. Abdullah signed as the “Grantor Agent” while knowing she did not have authorization to represent Jonathan in any capacity. Jonathan did not sign a “granting clause” that stated Grantor’s intent to convey the property to the Grantee. Ms. Abdullah certified under perjury the foregoing (document) was true and correct. This is forgery, fraud, perjury, theft by deception, corruption and collusion.
The document shows Andrea Moffat, Escrow Closer for Nextitle, signed as “Grantee Agent” for Donnell Jackson, and certified under perjury the foregoing (document) was true and correct. As a Closer for a Title and Escrow Company, it is a conflict of interest, to represent either party. Ms. Moffat completed the document and signed off as Mr. Jackson’s Agent, while representing Nextitle as an Escrow Closer. This is forgery, fraud, perjury, theft by deception, corruption and collusion.
PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE DEED DOCUMENT FORGED. Ms. Abdullah forged the Personal Representative Deed at closing. The document shows “filed for record at the request of Sean R. Bleck” who was not representing the estate on December 12, 2014. The Personal Representative Deed was fraudulently used to transfer the property located at: 238-240 166th Street East, Spanaway, WA 98387.
Ms. Abdullah listed herself as both the Grantor (person to whom the property belong) and Personal Representative. Ms. Abdullah had a duty to execute the will according to the decedent’s wishes. Ms. Abdullah and Nextitle willfully deprived Jonathan Osborne of property to which he was entitled.
THE NOTARY PUBLIC. The Notary named in this transaction is R. Scott Cozad. Mr. Cozad did not sign the Personal Representative Deed. This document does not contain a notary’s acknowledgement. The deed is defective.
Both documents show clear evidence of forgery, fraud, perjury, theft by deception, corruption and collusion by Ms. Lateefah Abdullah and Nextitle a Title and Escrow Company on December 12, 2014.
“Every person who shall maliciously or fraudulently execute or file for record any instrument, or put forward any claim, by which the right or title of another to any real or personal property is, or purports to be transferred, encumbered or clouded, shall be guilty of a gross misdemeanor. RCW 9.38.020 “False Representation Concerning Title”.
Nextitle has a duty and responsibility to protect the public interest against any circumstances that can endanger a sell. Nextitle is required by law, to perform a title search, and it must be free of any circumstances that can endanger a sale. This would include verifying a PR and Will for legitimacy through court records. Nextitle did not contact Jonathan for his consent to property to which he was entitled. Nextitle has caused harm to Jonathan for maliciously and fraudulently executing and filing for record property he has the right to. Nextitle failed to do their due process.
Ms. Abdullah’s was restricted of her nonintervention power to execute this sale on December 12, 2014. Nextitle and Ms. Abdullah maliciously executed real property without legal authority to Mr. Jackson, depriving Jonathan Osborne of his inheritance. This illegal transaction is currently filed with the Assessor’s Office in Pierce County.
Sara Stasch, Stasch Law, LLC., filed a Motion “Beneficiary Objection to sale of Real Property” and “Motion for Objection”, December 9, 2014, and “Petition to Restrain and Remove Personal Representative; For Rescission of Sale of Real Property; Recoupment; Accounting”, December 30, 2014. This motion was ignored by the court.
Today, Jonathan still have not seen the purchase and sales agreements; an accounting of his father’s bank statements; actual creditor claims; the taxes for his father; etc. The accounting is inconsistent with the actual sales; appraised value; legitimate creditor claims; rental income; withdrawals; overdrafts; decedent’s income; etc. These same documents were filed with the court to fabricate the fraud committed upon the estate. These acts against the heir and his mother have been gut-wrenching! PR Duty/Breach of Duty/Removal of the Personal Representative, Washington State Probate Desk book.
Why is this not enough for the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, Bob Ferguson; Pierce County Law Enforcement Detective, Mike Hayes and Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office, Deputy Prosecuting Attorneys Scott Peters and Mark Sanchez to investigate and prosecute persons of crime.
Linda Kochmar, former Mayor and State Representative for the 30th District of Federal Way, says “I believe, due process should be followed prior to liquidating an estate, and when the process is not followed, legal consequences should be enforced.”
MEETING WITH STATE REPRESENTATIVE MIKE PELLICCIOTTI. On April 25, 2018, Jonathan and Deborah had a formal meeting with their State Representative Mike Pellicciotti, his Legislative Assistant Katie Dean, and several friends (there were twelve all together) to review and discuss the documents filed with the Assessor’s Office in Pierce County.
Rep. Pellicciotti works as a state criminal prosecutor for Washington State Attorney General’s Office. Rep. Pellicciotti asked Jonathan, “Did you give your step-cousin Lateefah Abdullah consent to sale the property”; Jonathan response was “no”. Rep. Pellicciotti then asked Jonathan, “Did you give your step-cousin Lateefah Abdullah authority to represent you as an agent”; Jonathan response was “no”. Jonathan informed Rep. Pellicciotti “I was not aware of the sale to Donnell Jackson, because Lateefah was aware of my interest to keep the properties”.
Rep. Pellicciotti told Jonathan, “If you did not consent to the sale, this is forgery”. Rep. Pellicciotti advised Jonathan to file a police report with Spanaway Parkland Precinct, Pierce County Sheriff Department, in the county where the property is located.
POLICE REPORT OF FORGERY INCIDENT NUMBER #18-122-01537. The police report filed May 2, 2018, included a memo addressing the forgery, a copy of the Will, and copies of the documents.
Today, the Attorney General’s Office, Law Enforcement and the Prosecutor’s Office have not responded appropriately to the alleged crimes. The Prosecutor’s Office stated “It has been determined that this case could not be proven in court.”
This case is “new” and has not been adjudicated by a judge. The case relates to clear evidences of forgery, fraud, perjury, theft by deception, corruption and collusion; which can easily be proven in a court of law. The incident has 109 actual records to which 100 records have been redacted; even the police report filed on May 2, 2018, is redacted.
Law Enforcement and the Prosecutor’s Office exempted themselves from public disclosure of the most relevant records in this case citing RCW 42.56.530 “Agency Party to Controversy” which does not relate to any pending cases in superior courts.
There has been no explanation from law enforcement for their denial of an investigation, as it is required. This makes no sense when there are clear evidence to substantiate a crime has been committed. These types of crimes are happening in our cities every day and the victims don’t realize it, until it’s too late, or they can’t get the help needed. We realize what happened in this case and “We Want Justice!” Jonathan is a young man, who should have been protected through our legal system and given his properties respectfully, on October 27, 2014.
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE (AGO) was notified November 14, 2018, that Nextitle a Title and Escrow Company illegally transferred real property without the consent of the person entitled. The AGO responded November 24, 2018, directing Jonathan and Deborah to Pierce County law enforcement and the Prosecutor’s Office, who still have not responded appropriately. Having already reached out to them Jonathan and Deborah were advised to contact Nancy Krier, Open Government Ombudsman, Assistant Attorney General, appointed to represent the interest of the public by investigating and addressing complaints of maladministration or a violation of rights.
Ombudsman Krier was first contacted October 10, 2018, for an understanding of Public Disclosure and Open Government, as it relates to redacted records. Ombudsman Krier spoke candidly and informed Deborah, if she needed assistance with a government agency, she would assistant her. However, when law enforcement and the Prosecutor’s Office continued to ignore the evidence, Jonathan reached out to Ombudsman Krier for help and this time, she was reluctant to assist him, email dated February 14, 2019.
THE PUBLIC. We ask the public to help us in our fight for justice. The corruption of properties being stolen through fraud is happening in our cities daily; robbing us of our rights to the sacrifices made by our parents to pass on their legacy.
We know our rights and the resources available to protect us, but the judicial system and government officials are not responding appropriately. If we do nothing, these types of acts will continue. We do not deserve this outcome!
Lawyers have informed us, this case will not be resolved until the Attorney General’s Office or the Prosecutor’s Office gets involved. So, we ask the Public to contact Mary Robnett, Pierce County Prosecuting Attorney, at 253-798-7400, newly elected to this position and Washington State Governor Jay Inslee, Presidential Candidate, at 360-902-4111 to meet with us and our State Representative, Mike Pellicciotti to discuss this case, and next steps to enforcing the laws of this great country.
The Governor or a county prosecutor can request the Attorney General’s Office to investigate and prosecute persons accused of a crime. Please follow our story until justice is served, help us in this fight today, so you won’t have to fight tomorrow!
