My husband and I are divorcing. We put our house on the market and it is scheduled to close on 5/1. He was arrested on 3/20 and is in jail because he has a $2million cash bond. Unless he changed the estate plan, I have POA. Can I sign for the closing/deed if he is in jail?
answered on Mar 25, 2024
If you have the original POA, with the actual original signature, and it has not been revoked, you could use it to sign the deed for your closing. You should check with your husband to verify that it has not been revoked, and you should give the original POA to your closing attorney for review.... View More
I had an accountant that was in charge of things, who is now in federal prison and has cost me 22,000 over this time and now I’m looking at another 9,300. Can I do anything? I live in this town and am in there to pay ALL of my taxes a couple of times a year. Not once was I ever told about this

OK, well, either you owe the tax bill because the accountant didn't pay it, or he paid it and the government is wrong. The one thing that is clear is that you cannot rely on "my accountant handled it" to avoid paying a valid tax bill. I think the best course of action is to retain an... View More

No attorney should answer this question without reviewing your operating agreement. I sure hope that you have one. It should spell out the legal mechanism for expelling a member. If you have questions or more information, I'd be glad to help.

I don’t practice in Massachusetts, but I think the answer is that there may be a 30 day appeal period that needs to run before the proceeds can be disbursed.

Start looking into this by hiring a CT attorney to search your title, and possibly some upstream/downstream properties. If you are being assessed for something you do not own, complain to the tax authority for the

Your question indicates you have a case pending. If you have an attorney, I would suggest this question should be directed to them.

A Connecticut attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week.
When you ask, "Do you handle... ," this isn't a law firm. It's only a Q & A forum. It doesn't work like an attorney referral service - you would need to reach out to attorneys. Good luck

A few options.
First, talk with the legal team as to your concerns.
If that does not work, put your concerns in writing to the lawyer.
Finally, hire a new attorney (hire a new attorney before firing you old attorney).

Since you are in Alaska, I would recommend contacting the Probate Court and asking for copies of the entire Probate File be sent to you. Or hire a CT attorney to look into to it and advise what should be done, if anything.

The statute of limitations may be tolled under certain circumstances, such as if the fraud was concealed. Given the specific complexities and potential for large monetary stakes, you should consult with an experienced attorney to evaluate the merits and potential limitations of your case.
This will be throughly detailed and I will mainly discuss the mistreatment/negligence I endured from DCF, former foster care parents, medical centers, etc. I’m going to state their full names, locations, etc. I just would like to make sure that I can’t be sued afterwards.

An attorney who works with authors in the publishing industry could advise best, but your question remains open for four weeks. As a general matter, there is no controlling whether someone would file a lawsuit if they claim that they have been libeled or slandered. Good luck
