The bank is not recognizing Durable Power of Attorney papers

Answered 5 years and 4 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer

You can sue the bank to compel it to recognize your power of attorney, but it would probably be easier to get the bank to supply you with a form it would recognize, then have that one executed.

Does power of attorney grant you the right to obtain copies of birth certificates and social security card for someone?

Answered 6 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Bruce Robins
Powers of attorney can be as general or as limited as the parties want them to be.  The breadth of your powers depends on the provision of the POA that your bf executed.  If your current power of attorney is not broad enought to cover getting a new birth certificate, etc., your bf can execute a new one that is broad enough....

Do I have a case?

Answered 8 years and 5 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Bruce Robins
As a general rule, where a contract is requried to be in writing (depending on whether your contract could be performed within a year, i.e. when the booking was for, this was probably nor required to be in writing), that means it has to be in writing signed by the party to be charged, i.e. the party against whom the other party is seeking to enforce the contract or get damages for its breach.  In other words, even assuming this contract was required to be in writing, you signed it and are probably bound by it.  The situation could be different if the contract expressly states that it will not be valid unless signed by both parties....

If I have a contract with a lawyer and only I have signed it and the lawyer has not, is this still a valid contract?

Answered 13 years and 3 months ago by attorney Bruce Robins   |   1 Answer
Bruce Robins
One party can enforce a contract against a signatory, even if he himself has not signed.  Whether the lawyers are bound is a more difficult question.  My gut feeling is that they will be deemed bound, particularly if the agreement is on their letterhead, but you should still ask for a copy signed by them....

What is a judgement and what can I do if I don't agree?

Answered 13 years and 4 months ago by Mr. Richard Alan Alsobrook (Unclaimed Profile)   |   1 Answer

A judgement is a court verdict against you.  If you are behind on your payments, the creditors can seek a judgment against you for the delinquent amount.  If you disagree with the amount the creditor is suing for, you should contest the lawsuit and the damages that the creditor requests. This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature. No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information. Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.... Read Answer
