First, it may not be too late. Contact Ron Motley's law firm in South Carolina for starters--they give free consultations. But the problem is that once your dad was diagnosed with it the clock began ticking, and with all the TV ads about it it's a tough argument to make that no one knew... View More

My mother needs to show herself as Power of Attorney to file a claim on his behalf. This is with regards to Tronox Tort Claims Trust from Eastern Pennsylvania. How do I go about making her the Power of Attorney?
answered on Feb 23, 2017
I suspect that you are confused. A Power of Attorney expires, as a matter of law, on the death of the person who gave it. Thus, the fact that the sister had a Power of Attorney is irrelevant because that Power of Attorney expired on the father's death. From what you are describing, I think... View More

answered on Feb 16, 2017
Usually only half, and I find you can bargain with them. I don't see they can take all of it. Usually only for bills related to care caused by the injury.
Every mailbox in the neighborhood is attached the house. I have lived there for 3 years without incident or warning about my dog-only that drivers uncomfortable with my dog chasing will skip my house (and I have been FINE with this).

News I'm sure to the Justice Department. It is not a Federal Agency, but it is a Federal Commission. Your post mistress needs to understand who pays her paycheck. Suggest you contact your congressperson and US senators. Your claim is for the damage to your property, if any. Unfortunately your... View More

Your question does not really make sense, and you need to consult a lawyer. However, (1) If there was a settlement of the involved claims, the matter is over; (2) There are two components to a death action-(a) wrongful death, and (b) survival action. In order to file a death action an estate... View More

There can be various types of "renunciation forms." Such a form is used to demonstrate that a person is giving up rights to do something. For example, if an estate had to be opened and there were multiple people who could qualify to become administrators or executors of an estate, but... View More
