Plaintiff, is an Investor/Purchaser of "Fractional Undivided Ownership Interest" in resideniial and commercial real estate assets, involving highly complex real estate litigation/title claims. 37.

A copy of an "Opinion Letter" and its habits is attached hereto as ("Exhibit G") and made a rnaterial part hereto. 39. If the POA aliegedly executed by Julia T. Saunders was a counterfeit/falsified document from the very begiruring, the conveyance of any percentage or the encumbrance of the demised premises by Defendant Galloway in her "Agent Capacity'' based upon the purported POA, is not voidable in the contents of the law but "void ab initio" (i.e. to be treated invalid from the outset/from the beginning) 40. Based upon Plaintiffs frrdings, had Defendant Galloway not commiited such acts of identity theft and forgery, the surviving Distributees of Julia T.

AND FOR TIIE FIRST CAUSE OF ACTION F'raud-Deid ra Galloway 57, The Plaintiff repeats and re-alleges the allegations in each paragraph set forth above and incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein. 58. A Conveyance based upon a counterfeit document is not an instrument of transfer in regard to any right, title, or interest in property and therefore has no value, 59. A counierfeit document is made as an exact imitation of something valuable or importance with intention deceive or deAaud. The purported POA is a fake, forgery and imitation. 60. On or about May21,1993 a Court of Competent Jurisdiction issued an order deeming Julia T. Saunders incompetent and appointed Defendant Galloway "her daughter" as Co-Conservator. 61. On January 31, 1996 Defendant Galloway appears to claim Julia T. Saunders, the'very same individual in whom was deemed incompetent nearly 3 years earlier, executed a "Statutory Power
Case 1-18-01081-cec Doc 1 Filed 07/09/18 Entered 07/09/18 14:35:11 Case 1:18-cv-02764-FB-CLP Document 1-2 Filed 05/09/18 Page 11 of 106 PageID #: 15 of Attorney''appointing her as agent. 62. Any such document of this nature is an absolute nullity as any Contract by a Ward while under a conservatorship are consequently void. Only when an individual has the capacity to do so he or she may draft alegal document, cailed a power of attorney, to give authority to another individuai to act on his/or behalf. Given the court appointment of Defendant Galloway, the ward could not have had the cognitive or comrrrunicative capacity to make decisions for herself or give infonned consent for personal medical, or financial affairs. 63. Upon information and beliet the initials on the POA granting specific authority to Defendant Galloway are not the initials of Julia T. Sarurders. 64. Upon information and belief, Julia T. Saunders did not reside in New York State nor did she visit New York State in 1996 when the purported POA was allegedly executed. 65. Defendant Galloway could not irave legally acted as the ward's agent via POA in 1996, after her appointrnent in 1993 as Co-Conservator. 66. The record clearly reflects, Julia. T. Saunders was incompetent and the POA allegedly executed, even in its counterfeit nature does not serve subsequent disability or incompetence of the principal. Accordingly, subdivision Qri) of the POA states the following: if the blank space in the box to tlte right is initialed by the principal, this power of attorney shall not be afficted btrt the subsequent disaQility or incompetence of the principal; Un-initialed [ ] 67. Defendant Galloway, was so excited by greed she obviously forgot to initial subdivision N. 68. Even if the court concluded with the assistance of David Blaine, Julia T. Saunders magically signed the POA, the court can't ignore the ultimate fact, without initialing subdivision ${)

Furthermore, the shiking exact similarity of signatures between the aileged POA principal Julia T. Saunders and Defendant Galloway's signature as agent, even a blind man can see are exactly same. 70, Self-dealing is simply not tolerated in the relationship between a fiduciary whose interest he or she is to protect. 71. A Conservator cannot, by POA divest themselves of any required legal responsibilities' 72. Defendant's Galloway is a classic notorious paper tenorist who has used the stroke of a pen to steal not only from her elder mother but from her immediate family. 73. As Co-Conservator, Defendant Galloway was appointed by the court to inanage the affails of someone who, due to mental or health problems, lacked the capacity to manage her own affairs' Tnstead, Defendant Galloway took advantage by engaging in obvious brazen conduct of self- dealing to solely benefit herse$ even if it meant depriving relatives of their rightful inheritance. 74. As far as personal properly is concerned, guardians and conservators have free reign to seli and transfer the ward's assets without court approval. However, it's a different matter altogether for real estate. A guardian or conseryator can only sell, lease or mortgage real estate of a ward by court license. The methodology to obtain such a license is akin to that of an estate fiduciary (n.b. notice requirements, sale amount, description ofproperfy, etc')' In fact the stafutes which provide the manner in which conservators and guardians are permitted to sell a ward's real estate directly incorporates by reference the "descent and distribution" statutes which
Case 1-18-01081-cec Doc 1 Filed 07/09/18 Entered 07/09/18 14:35:11 Case 1:18-cv-02764-FB-CLP Document 1-2 Filed 05/09/18 Page 13 of 106 PageID #: 17 describe the required framework Sales to Pa:t Debts. If the personal property is tnsfficient to pay debts or expenses, then a guardian or conservator may be licensed to sell real estate of a ward. Salesfor Maintenance or Investrrnent. The applicable statute provides very broad discretion in utilizing this aption. 75. This procedure is used more frequently than the other when property of a ward is being sold. However, although the motivation for the sale differs, the same methodology applies for purposes of obtaining the license. 76. Under either instance, full details of the guardian's or conservator's authority should be described in the execution of the deed with reference to the license, its date, the authorization by the supreme court and the docket number for the case. 77. Leases or mortgages of a ward's real estate must be simiiarly approved by the court. 78. To avoid obtaining a License to Sale, Defendant Galloway acted alone to steal the rightftl identity of the ward by creating a fraudulent, terribly counterfeit document to deprive the Ward of her rnost valuable asset. 79. Defendant Galloway has engaged in and demonstrated a pattern of crcating falsified documents and therefore, should noi reap the "fruits of her fraud/deceit" AND AS FOR THE SECOND CAUSE OF ACTION Declaratory Judgement- As to Deidra Galloway, The National Archltectural Trust, fnc. and Santander Bank flk/a tMa Sovereign Bank f/k/a'Independence Community Bank 80.

This claim is brought put'suant to Article 15 of the Real Properly Actions and Proceedings Law of The State ofNew York to compel the detennination of claims to real property hereinafter described and set forth. ALL that certain plot, piece, or parcel of land, situate, lying and being in the Borough of Brooklyn of the City of New York, Caunty of Kings and State of NewYork, bounded and described asfollows: to wit:- BEGINNING at point on the easterly side of Clinton Avenue, old line, distant three hundred andJifty-two feet, three inches northerlyfrom the cornerformed by the intersection of the easterly side of Clinton Avenue with the northerly side of Gates Avenue; running thence easterly parallel with Gates Avenue, twenty-four feet, to the distance through a party wall, one hundred and twenty feet, to the easterly stde of Clinton Avenue, and thence southerly along the easterly side of Clinton Aventrc, twenty-fourfeet, ten and one half inches to the point or place of beginning. The premises more commonly described as: 425 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn, N.Y. 11238 (Block: 01961 Lot: 0016) 82. Defendant Galloway in her attempt to defraud the ward, did so knowingly and intentionally, with no regard for the law and/or the entitlement of others by engaging in self-dealing via the transfer of a 50o/o interest in the Ward's real property known as 425 Clinton Avenue, Brooklyn. 83. Defendant Galloway is a professional, full time swindier and therefore precisely knew what she was doing by orchestrating and executing such abrazen act of fraud against her very own mother 84. Defendant Galloway cannot possibly consider herself a bona fide purchaser, particularly through her "Agent" capacity based upon such a counterfeit Power of Attorney. 85. Defendant The National Architectural Trust, lnc., cannot claim io have any valid interest, particularly through its Conservation Deed of Easement. 86. Defendant The National Architecfural Trust, Inc., was aware, knew or should have been aware that Plaintiff was in fact not the sole owner of the demised premises at the time in which said Conservation Deed of Easement was executed.
