“I don’t have the legal ability to prosecute, but I have the responsibility to represent my constituents and report something that looks fraudulent.” John O’Brien

You would think that PBC’s clerk of court would be concerned about the massive fraud that is being played out in her county’s public records since this is ground zero, but I guess not…
From Sharon Bock’s Clerk & Comptroller website…
The Palm Beach County Clerk & Comptroller is your public trustee, responsible for safeguarding public records and public funds. The Florida Constitution established the Clerk & Comptroller as a Constitutional Officer, directly elected by and accountable to Palm Beach County citizens.
What does the Clerk & Comptroller do?
What is the Clerk & Comptroller SUPPOSE to do?
The Clerk & Comptroller maintains and ensures the integrity of the Official Record Books of Palm Beach County dating back to 1909. Documents such as mortgages, deeds, liens, judgments and marriage licenses are recorded and entered into a computer system that is available to the public online and at all office locations.

Tip from Palm Beach Gardens woman spurs wide search for papers ‘Linda Green’ OK’d
By Kimberly Miller
Palm Beach Post Staff Writer
Officials from several states are pulling court documents bearing the name of the now infamous robo-signer Linda Green following a 60 Minutes exposé on foreclosure fraud that featured a Palm Beach County homeowner.
In Michigan, Massachusetts and North Carolina registers of deeds have combed through filings looking for Green, documenting irregularities in signatures and forwarding their findings to law enforcement, federal regulators and attorneys general.
In Palm Beach County, a spokeswoman for Clerk of Court Sharon Bock said the Linda Green issue does not fall under “our purview to investigate or take action.”
“The clerk does not have authority under the statute to question the validity of a signature on a document presented for recording,” said spokeswoman Julie Nicholas.
“It is the role of the homeowners and/or attorneys representing homeowners to raise any legal issues that they believe may assist a homeowner in a foreclosure case.“
You can check out the rest over at the Palm Beach Post here…
So there you have it. It is too bad Ms Bock does not have the same passion to protect the very people who elected her as others do across this once great country such as John O’Brien, register of deeds for the Southern Essex District in Massachusetts, Jeff Thigpen, register of deeds in North Carolina’s Guilford County, Bill Bullard Jr., register of deeds in Oakland County, Mich., or Curtis Hertel, register of deeds, Ingham County.

The thought of this women on all fours over the water bowl is digusting…………..or is that the money bowl?
Maybe she should read this for some pointers…

People F. Frpmme, 35 N. Y. App. Div. 459. 54 N. Y. Suppl. 833. But see Dancy r. Clark, 24 App. Cas. (D. C.) 487, holding that while a register of deeds is a ministerial officer without jurisdiction to pass on the validity of an instrument presented to him for rvord, he is not wholly without discretion to determine whether a given instrument shall be admitted to record; and whether his action in a given case falls within the scope of authority vested in him is to be determined by the court according to the principles of law applicable to the facts.
This woman is very ignorant of the law. If her records differ from MERS’ records as to who owns the mortgages, legally there is two owners of record under the E-Sign Act. She is a holder of a “transferable record” under the act, as is MERS. If both records are incorrect (which is more often the case), there may be 3 legal owners, all with the same rights as a holder in due course.
She has been lucky that homeowners have not challenged lack of standing in foreclosures based on this law. When homeowners and attorneys become more aware of it, she will not have the same mentality.
E-sign doesn’t apply to article UCC 3. That would be promissory notes.
As long as big business bankrolls campaigns, ads and controls elections, the people have no choices. What we are seeing in office are those that big business wants there. Yesterday, Tennessee passed tort reform limiting the legal rights of plaintiffs to challenge negligence and place caps on awards for negligence, punitive damages for both medical, product liability, business liability, etc. The Republican majority has also passed restrictions on collective bargaining and tackling unions in Tennessee.
When will John Q public wise up and realize the GOP has only one special interest and that is for big business.
is it payola or peroxide?
why aren’t the victims of foreclosure crimes getting any justice in florida (and other states)?
records are important!
property records and property law are what has kept everything straight for centuries!
what a farce!
BOTH:0)
the “problem” is that the citizens of this county elected this woman in the first place.
what the hell is going on in florida????!!!!!
if it weren’t so horrible what is happening to people, this would be comedic.
YOUR FIRED.. BEACH,,,new election slogan!
& oh yea …RETURN the pension!

The CofC is a cheap paid person. Why care about records? This person needs voted out. We need a CofC who will pledge not to accept fraudulent documents for recording. We need laws and civil penalties against those who record fraudulent documents and those who sign them.
whats their game?
Thank you for posting her picture. It’s Friday, she is probably on the golf course with the judge while her nannies are watching the kids.
Thank you to the Palm Beach Post for this story.
Our sources tell us she is at “Pets R Us” getting a wash and blow dry.
Her trainer still cannot be reached for comment.
“Fight The Good Fight”
lol
The useful idiots are calling themselves out and therefore cancelling their ingegrity, and their jobs out. This is all the clear result of massive corruption. If you can’t do your job for whatever reason, time for you to go.
But she grants Certificate of Title based upon these very same questionable (and illegal) documents. How many Certificate of Title’s are granted each month in Palm Beach? Do the assignments come into her office electronically, by the hundreds, e-submission from mill law firms, same ones that are under investigation? Hmmm…

“Fight The Good Fight”
The Clerk of Court is just another government welfare leech who has an easy, cushy job, amazing benefits, probably works about 2 hours out of every 8-hour working day, and can therefore afford to whine and complain about we, the people, who are nothing more than an irritating thorn in her side. Now if only we would get out of her way so she can scurry off for a long lunch, maybe get some shopping in!
Looks to me like she spends WAAAAAYYYY TO MUCH TIME at the groomers. Where is her trainer?
