Mortgage fraud has become an increasingly serious issue throughout the U.S., and runs particularly rampant in South Florida. An estimated 10 to 15 percent of all mortgage applications involve fraud, according to the Florida Mortgage Corporation.

Taking place at the Federation’s Stanley C. Myers Building, 4200 Biscayne Boulevard, Miami, the program will begin with registration at 7:45 a.m. and will feature two experts who will talk about ways individuals and companies can protect themselves from mortgage fraud. Phillip R. Stein, Esq., Partner in Bilzin Sumberg's Litigation Group, will discuss the legal ramifications, while Joaquin Urquiola, CPA/CFFA, Partner at Goldstein Schechter Koch, will address the financial issues.
