Maria and Petros Petrou Grant Daughter Dr. Myria Petrou Durable Power of Attorney Over Merrill Lynch Accounts (February 3, 2013)

On February 3, 2013, Maria and Petros Petrou executed a Durable Power of Attorney appointing their daughter, Dr. Myria Petrou, as attorney-in-fact for their Merrill Lynch accounts.

The document gave Dr. Petrou broad authority to manage the accounts, including authority to purchase and sell securities, withdraw and transfer funds, and conduct other transactions involving the assets. It also expressly included gifting authority, permitting specified transfers of money or assets, including transfers to the agent.

The Durable Power of Attorney predates AAPD Case 17-3517 by approximately four years. During the investigation, Dr. Petrou provided the document to the Ann Arbor Police Department on or about March 7, 2017.

The Durable Power of Attorney therefore documents financial authority that existed before Case 17-3517 and that Dr. Petrou placed directly into the AAPD investigative record during the investigation.
