    Alcohol & Drugs: MIP, MIC, Intoxication Importing

    If she can't get afford a lawyer, she might qualify for legal aid. I'm not sure how being disabled means she "can't afford" to go to trial. If she's not working and is collecting disability, isn't she actually in a better position than someone who IS working? I'm not aware of any provincial...

    Neighbor encroachment

    Send her a letter giving her 24 hours to remove it, then cart it away. Let her know that anything else that spills onto your property will be removed without further notice.

    Trustee on a sick power trip...

    Get a lawyer. Maybe, have her removed as trustee. Maybe, collapse the trust and receive the property free and clear.

    It is a difficult situation, and I sympathize. I'm not sure I get the impression he's "accepted" that he's incapable of managing his own affairs - his rebellion against the notion of incompetency, for example. If incompetency won't work, but he DOES legitimately want to cede control of his...

    Unclaimed property of deceased relative

    Should the funds form part of the grandmother's estate? I ask because maybe they belonged to the grandfather, and should be distributed according to his will.

    elder law

    Have her assessed by a physician. Confusion does not mean incompetence - she may still be able to understand the powers she is granting and the implication of having someone else making decisions for her. That's what she needs to be able to do in order to be competent. If she's not competent...

    co-executors

    A few facts would be helpful. 1. Generally, yes, POA can be shared. It's not so much a matter of one informing the other what they're doing, but that POAs are required to keep accounts. The other is entitled to inspect these accounts. If the person granting POA so desires, he can make it a...

    Collection Notice

    Taking you to court is a distinct possibility. Garnishing your wages depends on where you live - some states permit it, some don't.

    NCP Rights and Religion

    I doubt there is a legal answer to this - courts are reluctant (and rightly so) to interfere in the workings of churches. How old is your daughter? Is this first communion/confession she's receiving, or confirmation? I remember when I got confirmed, it was solely up to me who I chose as my...

    CA Practice Question - Strategy

    I'm not qualified to speak further, so I won't. You don't want to do anything that might prejudice yourself, and I'm not exactly sure what's at stake in the various interlocutory proceedings here. I'd recommend you talk to a local civil litigation lawyer.

    Simplest thing to do would be for him to grant you enduring power of attorney (it continues even if he is incapacitated), and then have himself declared incompetent to manage his own affairs. That will leave you soley responsible for his finances. I suspect it may be difficult to have him...

    CA Practice Question - Strategy

    Not sure what you mean by "maximum effect". It's also unclear what is at issue in the motion to stay, who brought it, or what the outcomes could be. So it is impossible to give you any advice, much less sound advice. My two cents (and bear in mind I am not familiar with your state's rules...

    Deformation of Character -- Do I have a case?

    I don't have any other suggestions. It's a school matter. Even if you succeed in small claims court, that won't wipe out her school record or remove her school punishment. Pursuing it through whatever school channels are available is the way to go. I guess, conceivably, if your appeal is...

    PLEASE HELP....mother died 10 years ago and no handled her estate...

    Sure. Apply to be the personal representative of your mother's estate yourself. You're a closer relation, you'll probably be successful. Or let your uncle do it, but keep close tabs on the accounts. You have fewer options as far as interfering with or monitoring his management of your...

    Another Accident without insurance case any help will be appreciated

    I question the accuracy of what he told you about the Chinese government catching you and sending you back to the US for an unpaid debt. Sounds like a scare tactic to me. As far as I am aware, no country does that. If you ignore them, you will almost certainly be sued. As stated above, you...

    Deformation of Character -- Do I have a case?

    If your goal is to clear your daughter's reputation, suing the other girl for damages in small claims court is not the way to do it. You will not be able to "prove the girl is lying" in court. A court might believe her, it might believe your daughter, but it won't declare one or the other to...
