Complaint #1597882 submitted on 10/07/2015 relating to Astoria Bank. Complaint relates to Bank account or service Savings account - Account opening, closing, or management .

Complaint was submitted via Web and sent to the company on Thursday 8th October 2015.

Narrative (may be redacted).

Astoria Federal Savings Bank now know as Astoria Bank on or about XXXX XXXX, 2003 and XXXX XXXX, 2003 accepted Powers of Attorneys on behalf on my late now mother XXXX XXXX which are questionable and exposed me to serious damages in an amount of {$110000.00} and other loss of home, property.

The bank exposed me as well they failed to disclose the XXXX XXXX, 2003 power of attorney that was a joint XXXX with XXXX agent residing in XXXX which would cause issue if she left and other. It did cause a problem then was revoked but what was found out is that the joint power of attorney dated XXXX XXXX, 2003 was not effective it was not properly notarized, dated and acknowledged the attorney who prepared it wronged my mother and me as well. Why did the bank not reject this at said time but rather allowed us both to withdraw funds that then my sibling sue me over how so.

Then the XXXX XXXX, 2003 power of attorney was missing a page the Affidavit of Attorney in fact, why did the bank accept it if a page was missing and or not effectuated at said time. Please inquire I gave them ample opportunities but they chose to ignore again and again only having my sibling XXXX go into court to sue me said powers that may HAVE XXXX BEEN QUESTIONABE, NOT EFFECTIVE NOT PROEPRLY DRAFTED OR OTHER, THE BANK ACCEPTED MAINLY THE FIRST POWER OF ATTORNEY THE JOINT XXXX THAT WAS VOID HOW COULD THEY DO SO, AND EXPOSED ME TO SERIOUS INJURY AMOUNTING IN THOUSANDS.
