(HSBC) sued Jamie Thompson, the daughter and administratrix of Turner's estate. HSBC produced copies of the note and mortgage and two separate, loose documents each titled "allonge." The first stated, "Pay to the order of ____" and was signed on behalf of Delta Funding Corp. The second stated, "Pay to the order of Delta Funding Corp." and was signed on behalf of Fidelity.
