Harris County Real Property Records show several properties deeded to Helen Yancy, who has now been named a defendant in a lawsuit against Houston-based Surrogacy Escrow Account Management, or SEAM, owned by Dominique Side.

More than a dozen new families are now suing Houston-based Surrogacy Escrow Account Management and owner Dominique Side, nearly two months after the escrow firm suddenly collapsed and allegations surfaced that Side stole the money to fund a lavish lifestyle.

Surrogacy Escrow Account Management LLC or SEAM, and owner Dominique Side, has gone dark since mid-June when the company appears to have abruptly shut down and told clients legal actions forced operations to be placed on hold.
