Recently I discovered that My ex husband about 5 years ago obtained papers from the bank to cash in a $5000 RRSP in my name. The loan officer gave him the papers to fill out, sign and return assuming they were for me.
My signature was forged.. The money was released to him.
Is there anyway to retrieve my money. Can I go to the bank and sue them for not having me sign the papers in front of them.
Charge him for forgery? What happens now? Or an I out the money?

Hello p:

Call the cops. If he's convicted, the judge should order him to pay you back. If he doesn't, he could do more jail time. Plus, you can sue him in small claims court. I would.

The Bank?? I don't think they did anything wrong..
