Regarding your first question, since the corporation is listed as a defendant at the top of the garnishment, you should include its accounts in the process. Even though the corporation's name isn't mentioned in the body, its designation as a defendant means its accounts are subject to the... View More

I'm sorry you're going through this situation. Start by gathering all your divorce documents and any paperwork that shows your ex-wife is no longer associated with your accounts. This evidence will be crucial in proving your case to the bank.
Next, contact your bank immediately.... View More

My friend had a check written out to them but didn't have a bank account to cash it, so they signed it over to me since I do have an account. I cashed the check, but it turned out to be a bogus check that neither of us had any knowledge of, which has bounced at my bank. What will happen now?... View More

Even though you were trying to help your friend, both of you could potentially face legal... View More

In this situation, there is likely a very strong defense for the matter to be dismissed. I would encourage you to contact a criminal defense attorney in the area where the charge was filed.
He didn’t offer me half.
It had my name AND his name. Our names were separated by AND.

Your name being on the check and it being cashed without your consent could constitute fraud or conversion. You could file a civil action to recover your share of the money.
Do certain docs need notarized and/or filed with Court Clerk office? Will a durable POA cover it all, including land, her home and Quit Claim Deed if necessary? Is a Advance Directive needed or just be beneficial? Are specifics needed to handle her Social Security benefits as well?

Are you married still? Are the any injunctions in place? Do you have access to the account normally? However, you will not probably get a direct yes or no answer on this from any attorney because there are always many facts that go into things. Contact a family law attorney to assist you in...

Can a parent make a donation to the school (501c3) and then ask for the money back if they move or enroll their child elsewhere?
answered on Jan 5, 2022
The parent can ask - but there isn't anything requiring the refund. There is no federal law, and most states classify the donation as a gift and therefore no longer the property of the person giving the donation, and thus not required to be returned. However, if the funds were donated with... View More

It depends on a lot of things. The wording of your decree regarding debt, the timing of the purchases, and whether it is a debit or credit card. I wish I could help you more, but I would hire an attorney to help you clear it up.

You need a lawyer. You shouldn’t for something like this, but unfortunately you do.
Its not being paid back, and its going on my credit report. What should I do next? How can I prove it is the person that I suspect it to be that is responsible for this? I disputed the mark on my credit report, but I don't know how to prove to them it wasn't me.

You definitely do need a lawyer; but not to sue the bank.
my sister works at the bank. She spent most of the money in the checking before notifying me of the PD.

Not until someone delivers an original or certified copy of your mother's death certificate to an officer of the bank. If your sister is not a beneficiary and is taking money out of any of your mother's accounts that contain payable on death clauses she is stealing; report her.

Banks are required to turn over funds after 5 years of inactivity. Inactivity is defined by statute. You should be good if you are within that time frame. If the assets are $50k or less and there are no unpaid creditors, an affidavit should suffice. Most banks have forms they prefer. If yours... View More
