Power of Attorney documents were drafted for my father, with my sister and I listed as primary and alternate agents. I was living out of state when they were drafted, and didn't sign them, but everyone else did. Also, my address and phone number listed in the documents are not current.
Hello, I cannot be certain without examining the document completely, but it sounds like you are talking about the line on the document where sometimes the Agent signs to acknowledge that they have been named as Agent (usually somewhere after the principal's signature). I know at my office it... Read more »

Briggs and Stratton filed chapter 11 and now I have received Form 410 (proof of claim). Do I need to fill this out to make sure I get my pension money at 65? Pension is run by Brigg's. What about my left over 401K money.
I have not work at Briggs since 2009 so 401K is a stand alone... Read more »
Yes. Fo@e a proof of claim.
No, usually an "expedited" appeal is for a certain class of cases: adult guardianship, juvenile guardianship, child custody, etc. And it usually means that the deadlines for the transcripts, the record, and the briefs have been shortened-- so that the case will move along faster.... Read more »
She wants to leave the money she has to my trust and not spend more money on one of her own. Can she do this? Can someone leave assets to a trust where they are not the grantor?
This is a very interesting question. While it might be possible for her to leave a bequest to your trust, for tax reasons, it might not be desirable. I think you should examine carefully what type of assets she wants to leave to the trust, and the language of your own trust with an experienced... Read more »
My daughters father wants to sign his rights over but I don't have a significant other to take over his rights. Can a family member of mine take over his rights? Or do I have a significant other take over his parental rights?
You need to be married and your new husband willing to adopt your daughter. If a family member adopted your daughter, that would require a termination of your parental rights, too. The only way that your ex's parental rights can be terminated while yours are not terminated are if there will... Read more »
She pays me child support and we have 50/50 placement, 1 week with her and 1 week with me. Still live within 20 miles of each other but she wants me to sign off on her paying child support because we’re not in same school district. My kids school is only 15 minutes from where I currently live and... Read more »
This does not make sense. Child support is not dependent on which school the children attend unless she is paying private school tuition as an offset or you are not going to take your court ordered periods of placement.
It was a car accident that totalled our car. His name on title, we were both insured. Am I entitled to some of that? We lived together for 14 years. Everything got put in his name. I also contributed to the purchase of the house. We have separated since the accident.
If the check was made payable to both of you and the word "AND" was between both names, there is no question that the check was made payable to both and both signatures should be required. There might be some exceptions. For example, if you had a joint bank account and the terms and... Read more »

He has taken away 4 visitation days and will not have any communication with me at all. My question is can I have him arrested for kidnapping when it is my visitation time and he refuses to not let me have time. We do have court documents that state whose date it is but he will not go by the court... Read more »

Father has a good job and pays health insurance for kids and mother as they are separated not divorced. Mother does not work or take the kids more than 2 days a month

I'm looking to provide 28 day notice so I can move in and owner occupy.
Nothing keeps you from communicating with them whenever you want. You can't give them notice until you actually own the place though.
Is there a form (like a pre-nup) but a "Post-nup" per say that I could fill out stating I don't want any of my husbands money if he should pass and it should go to our kids?
If/when your husband passes away you can work with an attorney to complete a disclaimer, and if your children are the next named beneficiaires in the Will or Trust it would go to them. If your husband is still alive, you could have him alter his estate planning documents now to accomplish this... Read more »

My ex and I had an agreement that he'd pay my cell bill since it's in his name if he can keep my tv which I'm still paying on. I only agreed because he changed the locks and wouldn't let me get my stuff unless he could keep the TV. It's a $2500 82 inch smart TV I just... Read more »
