All money is cashed by son who has a POA. What to do?
Q: I left the UAE in December 2016. I have given a power attorney to my son. He was supposed to transfer my funds to me when I open a bank account in my new location. I moved to Canada. When I got my permanent residence and social number, I requested him to just send all money at once. At that time, NBAD became FAB and I have no access anymore. Unfortunately, my POA representative lied to me saying that it is difficult to deal with the bank as there are a lot of restrictions and all the money is safe and untouched. At the same time, he cashed out all the funds from the account. What legal action I can do now in this case? Thank you! Questions & Answers
