JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Jan. 31, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Lender Processing Services, Inc. (NYSE:LPS), a leading provider of integrated technology and services to the mortgage and real estate industries, today announced a settlement agreement with the Attorney General of the State of Michigan that resolves the state's investigation surrounding the company's default operations, including former document preparation, verification, signing and notarization practices of certain operations.
