Bank denied claim for bank fraud

[Tara]

I am 76. My bank denied a claim I made for bank fraud. My power of attorney took a lot of money from my bank account. Is there anything I can do? She has been doing this for over a year. I guess it is too late now?

First thing to do is revoke the power of attorney! Then consult an attorney.

I did all that. I even called the police.

Well what did your new attorney say?

I doubt anything can be done unless the power of attorney had stipulations attached to it such as it could only be used for certain reasons, and or a certain amount.

Is it someone you know well? What does she say when you confront her?

it isn’t bank fraud when you gave them the power to take money out .

it can be both civil and criminal but that has nothing to do with the bank
