In a lawsuit involving a minor, the parent or guardian often acts as a representative or "next friend" for the minor but is not automatically considered a plaintiff.

A credit union has no legal obligation to do business with you. Even though the unpaid loan is well past the statute of limitation and cannot be sued upon or collected on, you caused a loss of money to the credit union. Credit unions take this personally because they are member owned. You caused... View More

Repossession from a public area is not illegal. Repossession on a Saturday is not illegal. Most likely, if you were late on... View More

The POA is terminated at the principal's death. If you are on the signature card, the funds are probably already your property. The Trust may affect your individual ownership of the bank account, or those monies may never have become Trust Corpus.

Assuming the Bank failed to pay Insurance from the escrow, suing for negligence, breach of contract, etc. is not a good option as foreclosure will result. You must find insurance immediately as foreclosure is imminent. A refinance might get that Bank out of your hair, but insurance and taxes must... View More

I was added to the account in 2017. In 2019, a 3rd party was added but I did not sign to add them.

Depends on the bank's policies, if you are uncomfortable with this, you can withdraw all the money from the account and move it elsewhere. I would talk to the bank about this and see what they say happened.
