(Reuters) - A day after New York's attorney general called Bank of America Corp's (BAC.N) $8.5 billion mortgage-backed securities settlement "unfair" and "inadequate", another state attorney general hinted he may also oppose the deal.
Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden plans on filing a motion to intervene next week, said an attorney from his office on Friday.

Bank of America’s ReconTrust Sued by Washington State Over Foreclosures
Bank of America Corp. (BAC)’s ReconTrust unit failed to conduct foreclosures as a neutral third party as required by law, Washington state Attorney General Rob McKenna said in a lawsuit.
ReconTrust, which acted as a trustee handling foreclosures, had a duty to act in good faith to borrowers as well as lenders, McKenna said today at a press conference announcing the suit. ReconTrust also concealed or misrepresented the actual owner of the debt when handling foreclosures, according to the complaint filed in state court in Seattle.
