Powers of Attorney (by Corinne S.):

Hi Chris!

If you check your documents, there should be one Power of Attorney for the Timeshare Board and one for the Condominium Board for every unit purchased. They use these to change our Deeds, the Offering Plan, etc WITHOUT OUR KNOWLEDGE!

I follow our ownership (address is The Park Central Hotel at 800 7th Ave, NOT 200 W 56th St) on ACRIS via signing up for alerts. Just doing a search in Manhattan with your name should bring up the filed documents. Recently I received an alert that the POAs were changed but to what? Frankly, I've been so busy I haven't checked as of yet.

I've been bringing this issue up since 2010 with TMC top management (Wirshba and Reale) about REVOKING these documents but to no avail. "Owners live all over the country and the world so we can't have everyone come in when we make needed changes."

Chris, I won't be at the 8-4 meeting because I'm in Albany and chose the Aug 2 meeting instead. Perhaps you could ask them how to revoke these POA's that we didn't know we signed at time of sale at the Board Meeting. When I reviewed my docs and saw these, I was furious! AND MOST OWNERS ARE UNAWARE THEY SIGNED THEM!

The AG's office hopefully knows about this from people who sent in all their documents from time of sale. I don't know if their undercover investigators ran into this as well.

Thanks! Corinne

Hi Chris,

One point of confusion for me is that we all signed Powers of Attorney for them to control everything - 1 for the Timeshare Board and 1 for the Condominium Board. Hence their ability to change our Deeds without our knowledge or permission as they could do so without letting us know and continue to revise documents. All were changed from Single Commercial Residential to Timeshare back in approx. March 2014. They probably got wind of the AG Investigation around that time. Any thoughts on this? I don't know if there is a legal obligation.

Also, this is the FIRST year they are holding the Board Meeting on a Tuesday instead of a Saturday so... it seems they're trying to keep the meeting small on purpose. I've never bothered to go because it's all very controlled. I know they have asked people (pre-AG) to leave in the past if they "didn't behave," so to speak! Thanks, Corinne

I do not remember signing a power of attorney. However, can't a power of attorney be revoked? Arnie
