I loaned my mother $43,000 at 7% interest 21 years ago. It was secured by a promissory note and upon her death I would receive payment. Upon her death in October 2021 I was informed that the house she owned could not be used to satisfy her debt to me as we had planned because of the homestead... Read more »
Regardless of what you are being told the $43,000 note from your mother is a very valuable valid debt that should be given to the Judge in the Probate Case.
If there is no Probate case, hire a lawyer to open one yourself. (Anyone can do it, and creditors do it all the time.)... Read more »
Woman becomes deathly ill with no Power of Atty. Can husband get a POA naming son as beneficiary.
Sorry to hear that. If woman is mentally sound, even though she is physically weak, she has to sign her own Power of Attorney.
The agreement was to stay there for 3 years and then sell. After three years, she told me that she would love to keep the house, and told me she was going to pay monthly for my half. I agreed and changed the deed to her name. The only condition I put was for her to pass the mortgage under her name.... Read more »

It probably wouldn't do any good to retroactively "give" guardianship to someone else. Besides being fraudulent, and probably criminal, a retroactive grant of guardianship would be meaningless.
Let me rephrase counselor. Im subject t I character limit. Basically there were detrimental effects to my mother by not contacting me to notify her next of kin and sole decision maker while in such an incapacitated state. Though there is no legal obligation to contact me (that I know of)they used... Read more »
Your questions make virtually no sense.
As near as I can understand, a hospitalized woman, your mother or grandmother, had promised to sign over the house to you if she were about to die. But her uncle, or perhaps your uncle, falsely claimed to have her power of attorney. Did the sale... Read more »

The guardian took me off of all of any and all contact lists for my children's doctors. Due to me not being listed the doctors won't release any information to me. The... Read more »

You obviously used something, whether it was a phone or a PC to ask this question. Use that same device to contact your doctors and other people who might assist you. You need to file in court for divorce and, at that same time ask for a temporary order requiring your husband to pay, while the... Read more »
Hypothetical Situation: A person is a child(who is of at least 20 years of age) of someone who is emotionally abusive. The parent behaves in a way in which that makes the child feel that they are in danger. The child acts in self defense and throws something that hits the parent and the parent... Read more »
If I were the judge, I would deny the request. For self-defense, the relevant issue is whether the defendant reasonably believed throwing the object was necessary to protect the defendant from threatened force on the part of the parent.

evrything willed to be split 50/50 but im not allowed to see/know anything is this legal?
The Power of Attorney died the same instant your father did.
If you want to see everything hire a probate lawyer and file a probate action using your father's will.
The lawyer will also help you stop the steal.
He is not on the deed and I have the opportunity to sell my home with a profit. I have homestead exemption. Is he still entitled to 50/50 even though he is not on the deed.
He is entitled to half of the appreciation during the marriage. You can subtract off the value on the date of marriage. Speak to a local family lawyer for a more specific calculation as there may be other factors that you can use to reduce his interest.

No, you both equal rights to be a parent to the minor child. You should file for Custody, Visitation and Access to the minor child. Also, be very clear to the mother in your communication that you do not consent to her denying you access to the child.
