Tracked their location thru the IP address, but at the time the victim didn't press charges Almost a year later could the victim decide to press charges. The amount stolen was around $2000.
answered on Jun 7, 2022
The short answer is yes. However, an important caveat is that the State (i.e., Prosector's office in the county where the alleged theft occurred) decides whether to pursue charges, not the victim. Therefore, because the amount stolen was over $500.00, the alleged thief would likely be charged... View More 
I have notarized POA on my Dad, drawn up by attorney in 1992. He can no longer sign checks and bank won't honor POA as is. How do you certify it with court? It is a properly notarized document already.

Your question cannot be answered without reviewing the POA to try to determine what exactly the bank might be concerned about. It is possible that the POA only becomes effective upon incapacity, and so the bank wants proof of incapacity of your father. It that is the case, you need to get a... View More
FINANCIAL CARD FRAUD 16-9-33
The woman charged was tricked into using it under instruction of her boyfriend who was responsible for finding my wallet
answered on Oct 3, 2021
This depends on several factors. However, contacting the prosecutor's office and letting them know that you don't want her to be charged is a first step. You can request to fill out a non-prosecution affidavit, but ultimately it is up to the prosecution to determine if they will dismiss... View More

I cannot argue with you since you have the paperwork for what you have said occurred. At least I would hope that you do.

The phrase "If it walks like a duck; it's a duck." certainly applies here. If you truly believed it is okay to keep the money entrusted to you for another purpose, you would not be online asking your question. Of course it doesn't belong to you. What would justify you keeping the money?
Removed all contents and closes safety deposit box account out. Which included an original copy of a amended will and vehicle title. The following day, the suspended executor transferred vehicle title from the descendants name into his, providing the DMV with the same invalid court docs.
answered on Jan 18, 2021
Since you didn't ask a question, I'm not sure what you need. The facts sound horrible and the executor can easily have a judgment entered against him. I don't understand why there is a codicil to a will still floating around when the court had already issued Letters Textamentary to... View More

At one time she was extremely well off but over the years her health declined and no one knew what she had in accounts or banks. How can we find out if she had any bank accounts or any safe deposit boxes? There is a lot of unanswered questions about where her money and assets went over the years.

Yes. I am not clear on "medical consultant" but a power of attorney can include provisions to allow the agent to access medical records. It is also recommended that an advance directive for healthcare be completed as this will appoint an agent for healthcare decisions.
I canceled the cashiers check. Before I could pay them, they went to the moving broker and got my debit card information (unauthorized) and charged the amount the next day.
Is that misappropriation of funds or do I just need to reissue? I’m concerned that this is fraud and identity theft.
answered on Jan 20, 2020
It sounds as though the moving broker acted negligently towards you. If you have never authorized them to release your credit/debit card information to this 3rd party, this may be a case of fraudulent use of credit card or another offense. It is best to consult an attorney who can assess the merits... View More

However, there are limited exceptions to this. For this... View More

No lawyer I know will have any suggestions because your "question" does not contain enough facts and thus cannot be answered as written. Try again?
The person who deposited the check in my account forged my signature. The loan was for $901.70.
answered on Jun 25, 2019
Yes. Why? Because you are the only person who has (or had) the $901.70. Surely you do not expect any bank on this planet to eat money just because you accepted a fraudulent check? No; they are making you eat your own money.

In Order to answer this Question, the attorney will need to see the actual Lease and any conversations you have with the landlord. It may be in your best interest to talk to an attorney to see what provisions are in your lease.

If you are not a named person on the bank account, then you cannot access the safety deposit box. You will need to get the probate court to grant you authority to open the box to see if a will is present.
