Q: What should I expect to happen when I go to court

What happens will depend on what your mother has to say to the prosecutor. You will have an initial court appearance called Plea and Arraignment, where you will enter a plea of guilty or not guilty. If you enter a plea of not guilty (which would be wise) you will then have a trial date set.

Q: Can an executor of a will sell land that is left to someone else before the writer of the will dies?

1 Answer | Asked in Other for Arkansas on
Answered on Mar 8, 2016

The uncle must have had a power of attorney. Before a testatrix such as your grandmother dies, her will is of no effect. So, as the person nominated as the executor in the will, the uncle would have had no power to convey any property. If, on the other hand, your grandmother also gave him a POA, or perhaps named him as trustee of a living trust, it would be another story.

Q: Deflamation of Character

1 Answer | Asked in Libel & Slander for Arkansas on
Answered on Nov 11, 2015

This is in the wrong forum. It is defamation not deflamation. And one big problem is that the person who did this is probably judgment proof. In other words she does not have much money. So, you would probably have to pay an attorney a lot to file a suit. What you have asked about is civil, not criminal.
