My condolences as I lost my mother 3 years ago and know that is extremely painful so sorry for your loss.

You will have to follow your dad's will, and probate it. Presuming he had a will. If he had no will, then the laws of intestacy of your state will govern who gets what. You will not be able to use the POA to sell the house, a POA "dies" when the person granting it died. You will have... View More

He was arrested in September, 2024 for a parole violation. What does that mean? State of Texas. The charge was possession of hash
answered on Nov 4, 2024
A person cannot violate the terms of a parole that he or she was not on. You should get a copy of those documents right away and send them to the attorney handling his case. If you do not have an attorney handling his case, my suggesting would be to find him an attorney and get this straightened... View More
Yes they can refile the charges within the SOL, but they cannot proceed if the 180 days has been exceeded correct? Especially if it has been over 365 days.
answered on Nov 4, 2024
No. From the date of arrest the State has 90 days to indict, and if the State fails to indict within 90 days the defendant, if in jail, is entitled to a bond he or she can make. ie: $10. If the State fails to indict the case within 180 days and the defendant has been in jail that entire time,... View More

Otherwise, the trust will continue to exist until the date of... View More

answered on Nov 4, 2024
He may be asked to enter a plea, or answer information pertaining to whether he's interested in making a plea deal. If he has a lawyer, his lawyer should handle all of that and guide him through it. If he doesn't, he sorely needs a lawyer. Aggravated Assault with a Deadly Weapon (in a... View More
