An oral contract for the loan of money is enforceable in court. The promissory note could be introduced in court as evidence of the terms of the loan along with oral testimony that the money was loaned and received by the borrower with the borrower's promise to repay it.

My question is, does it matter if I hire a lawyer out of state?

Your lawyer cannot practice in a state in which he is not licensed. It's probably not practicing law to negotiate a payment if no suit has been filed, but the choice must be made by the attorney.

The inmate may have their PoA on file at the local register of deeds, however, most PoAs are not recorded unless necessary. Additionally, it is very likely that no PoA exists for the inmate. The only way to know for sure is to ask the inmate themselves.

answered on Jun 27, 2022
A Georgia attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. I'm sorry for the difficult situation in terms of excessive heat for the child. This is something a landlord-tenant attorney would probably have the best insight into, in terms of tenant rights. There's no... Read more »

There's no contract or agreement..
