Long story short but details can be provided.
My retirement funds were “given”, rolled to a local bank’s investment department. The funds were lost due to the bank’s investment strategies/decisions. I always dealt with one person in the bank. Later, I found one of the many document needed to start this package has a signature forgery. My name is signed but not by me. First thought is that (if proven) the bank employee and/or representative would be liable for the loss due to their indiscretion. My primary question is, could/would the bank be held responsible for the employee’s actions? Is there a time limit? Facts, details, etc. can be provided. Local law firms won’t discuss the possibility due to, in my opinion, politics. Advice please. I’m in Virginia
