Legal Question in Banking Law in Maryland
I had money in escrow at Capital One for three years. I was the only authorized person to withdraw. The tenant moved and right before moving went and withdrew the money from the Bank using her own name and ID. To me that is theft/inefficiency/lack of procedures from the teller or whatever the Bank wants to name it. I do not feel I should have signed an Affidavit and I am reluctant to file a police report. She did not follow me or came home and stole? she stole it either with an accomplice or on her own knowing she owes me money! Should I get an attorney?

You may have a claim against the Bank and should consider hiring a lawyer to file such a claim, especially if the amount in escrow was substantial. If you were the only party authorized to withdraw the money, the Bank should not have allowed anyone else to do so and they may be liable to you for the full amount. I would have to know more facts to give you a better answer, though. Feel free to contact me ([email protected] or 301.294.6570) if you are interested in pursuing this matter further.
