Q: Warrant in detinue in Va?
2 years ago my dad sold me his 1969 camaro for a dollar. Recently he has went into nursing home. He lived by himself and his house is paid for. He is 14000.00 due to nursing home. My aunt came in from Florida hasn't been here to even check on him in over 2 years and is poa has filed a warrant in detinue against me for the car which she has an amount of 10,000.00 car value. The car had been at my dad's the whole time till a week ago when I was told she was coming in to sell the house. I removed my property from there. A dmv agent not 1 but 2 seperate ones have spoke 2 me and he told them he couldn't remember if he signed the title with my aunt present. She came to my house offered 2 buy the car from me. Both agents told me it was my property and they were there to be a mediator. She could sign his home over along with a truck to nursing home and he would have a secure place. She told agent she needed car back to pay balance on nursing home. Not true she wants car detinue for stolen forg
A: It sounds like her story has no legs. If she appears before a Judge, she will have the burden of proof to provide documentary evidence to prove her claims, otherwise the Judge will dismiss her case.
