Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia
Benefit from Fraud
If I can prove I was defrauded in the purchase of a house by a broker and appraiser, can I also sue the lender who holds the security deed and benefits as a result of me being defrauded?

There are too many variables regarding who, if anyone, may be liable, and what your damages are to give you a reliable answer in this type of forum. You should consult with an attorney who can review all the documents and facts and properly advise you.

What is your claim against the lender? You don't have a valid lawsuit merely because someone got a benefit from the transaction. If you think you have a claim against some parties, see a lawyer to ascertain the appropriate claims.
