There isn't enough information here to fully answer your question.

It does, however, sound like (depending on a lot more information) you could get in trouble for copyright and/or trademark infringement, fraudulent misrepresentation, or something else.

If your parent is still living, you can ask your parent for them.

If you parent is deceased, then the power of attorney is no longer valid after death.

It might be good for you to contact an "elder abuse" attorney to ask them more specific questions here and describe your concerns.

You should contact a "bad faith" insurance attorney. They frequently review initial information for no charge - have any rejection/denial letters ready to show them.

It sounds like your insurance company denied the claim because of an exclusion in your policy. An attorney can...

answered on Mar 22, 2021

From what you've described, it sounds like the "home state" of your child is Oklahoma, so you could likely file in Oklahoma. I do not know or practice Kansas law, so you should contact a Kansas-licensed attorney to explore options of filing in the place where your current custody... View More

I don't understand your question.

If the law firm represents you, then they can request a statement from the hospital with a signed medical release.

If a law firm is trying to collect payment on a hospital bill from you, the law firm can provide you a copy of that bill...

It sounds like you need a more in depth consultation with these facts. So much of this depends on how long they've been using the driveway, if they have another way to access their property, etc. Property questions are tricky and fact intensive.

Hello!

I'm sorry to hear about your son's situation. Rather than a power of attorney, it sounds like you need a guardianship over your son. From your question, I take it that your son is not a minor.

Q: Can I keep money wired into my account by accident?

I had a loan transfered into my account for $6900 yesterday. Today an additional $6900 was wired in. Can I keep that money? Or is it inevitable to have to pay it back. The loan was only for $6900.

I paid a wire fee twice, once for each wire.

I agree with what the other lawyer said and would add that you be cautious here. If your loan is through an individual you do not know or an entity that isn't bona fide, this is a common fraud scheme.

They send extra money or too much money and ask you to send it back from your...
