Note, the purchaser must still prove the debt and you have all rights you would have against the original creditor.

The Principal needs to revoke the POA with notice to any banks involved, etc. Sometimes you record the revocation in the county where property lies. Principal should hire an attorney to sue the former attorney-in-fact/agent for breach of fiduciary duties, conversion, etc.

A Nevada attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. I do not practice in Animal Law or Criminal Law (your selected categories) but your question is a general one. It's called a "transcript;" it's the written record of a court proceeding or deposition. Good luck

Just because a case has been set for trial does not meant that the Defendant himself or the Defendant's lawyer will not be able to negotiate and enter a plea agreement. A plea deal can happen on the very eve of the trial, and even sometimes during a trial.
