    Bank of America Making POA Difficult

    FWIW, your post doesn't really raise a legal issue. Well...that's your prerogative, but NO bank is going to accept anything other than an original, properly notarized POA. It's HIGHLY unlikely that the bank expects you to part with the original. Rather, it is likely that the banker simply...

    Student Loans Loan forgiveness programs qualification

    The way that laws work in the United States is that everything is legal unless some law says otherwise. I'm not fluent in any of the student loan forgiveness programs, but you've hinted at a few situations in which lines may have been drawn. To the extent I understand what you're saying, none...

    Grandparent joint custody of child

    I assume what you meant to write was, "In the event our son dies before the child reaches adulthood." Correct? You can't ensure anything. A child isn't a chattel. Your son can state a preference in his will, but such a preference isn't controlling. If your son dies before the child reaches...

    Non-compete agreements working in California

    "Except as provided in this chapter, every contract by which anyone is restrained from engaging in a lawful profession, trade, or business of any kind is to that extent void." Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code section 16600(a). The exceptions generally apply only to the sale of business interests...

    Can you sue someone for defamation in small claims court?

    Of course not. There are many elements to a defamation claim, and identification is only one of those. However, the fact that someone figured out who the subject of the statement was refutes the argument that it would be difficult to do. That might be relevant to the scienter element, but it...

    Can you sue someone for defamation in small claims court?

    Yes. "Intends to sue" means nothing. Ignore (but save) any further communication. If you get sued, then deal with it. We don't know that the prior tenant wasn't named. The fact that the prospective tenant figured out who the prior tenant was refutes the assertion that "it would be hard to...

    Broker's fees and conditions

    Sure. 1. Carefully read the agreement the broker asks you to sign. 2. If there's anything in the agreement you think is ambiguous, discuss it with the broker until you reach a mutual understanding, and have the agreement modified to reflect the mutual understanding. 3. Discuss your particular...

    Reopening a Murder Case That's Closed

    I think it's a pretty safe assumption that, if the DA had any interest in proceeding against an alleged accomplice, that would have happened by now.

    "Roundup" pest control class action lawsuit eligibility

    I suggest you read this: Roundup Lawsuit Update February 2024 It's a pretty good, plain-language explanation of what's going on.

    Contractor company went bankrupt. Can I still get paid?

    When in 2018? When were your invoices due? It's possible that the six year statute of limitations in CPLR 213 applies. The BK case mentioned in the link you provided was filed under Ch. 7 in 2019. It was a no-asset case that was closed after 10 months. You mean other than the bankruptcy...

    Car towed after I paid the bill

    Please explain the issue in a relatively concise manner. Please include relevant dates. "It" being what? Do you mean that, whatever "it" is, you paid it at, e.g., 10:00 a.m. and your car was towed at, e.g., 12:00 noon? Have you gotten your car back, or is it still in the impound yard? If...

    Reopening a Murder Case That's Closed

    1. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. 2. The statute of limitations for wrongful death in Colorado is two years. My understanding is that the deaths occurred in 2018, so it's way too late. To be clear, this is for a civil wrongful death suit. 3. Knowing that Person A intends to kill Person B...

    accused of threats/intimidation because of a social media post

    Now we know the content, but we don't know the context. Nevertheless, a social media post that says, "I want to get my gun license for myself for Valentine's Day," would almost never be legally actionable. I don't really agree with that, but it's certainly time to block the said crazy person.

    accused of threats/intimidation because of a social media post

    I'm not sure what your concern is, but do you really suppose anyone here can intelligently assess potential legal issues arising out of a social media post whose contents and context are completely unknown?

    Limits of Government authority and compensation for harm caused

    I asked you a number of questions. You ignored most/all of them and, instead, posted a bunch of rants. That's not conducive to getting useful feedback. This is an issue that you can address by lobbying your elected representatives or trying to get an initiative on the ballot. Not sure what...

    Limits of Government authority and compensation for harm caused

    What government? Federal? State? Local? What does "participate" mean? Grow? Harvest? Sell? All of these? Something else? Landings? I'm guessing you don't understand what "standing" means in this context. The hypothetical "you" would, of course, have standing. However, it's not...

    Completing Felony PTI and Background Check

    No one here can say with any certainty that it won't. No answer to this question could possibly be useful because (1) "many" is meaningless, and (2) the highlighted is correct.
