Q: What are the usual evidence or required documents needed for a person to terminate a conservatorship?
Nicole M. Livesey's answer
A conservatorship may be terminated when the person who is conserved makes a request in writing for the Probate Court to terminate the conservatorship. Generally the Court must hold a hearing within thirty days. The conserved person only needs to show that the conservatorship is no longer necessary by a "preponderance of the evidence" (which is a lower standard than “clear and convincing”). No medical records or evidence is needed but it could be helpful. If you are currently conserved...

Q: Can a power attorney establish a trust for the person he is the power attorney
Nicole M. Livesey's answer
The answer to this would depend on a number of factors including the powers given to the POA in the authorizing document. If you are POA and are considering establishing a trust, you should definitely be working closely with an attorney to determine if this is the best course of action. At that point you will be able to get a clearer answer as to whether or not you are authorized to do so.

Q: Would a notarized document be legally upheld in the case that my husband and I both die?
Nicole M. Livesey's answer
If both you and your husband were to pass away without a will in place stating who you would like to name as guardian of your son, the Probate Court would decide who is appointed to this position. The Probate Court may take into consideraton this document when making its decision, but only if it is brought forward as evidence during a hearing. Ultimately the court would make the decision. If this is something you are concerned about, it is advisable for you to seek the help of a lawyer with...

Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
Those 30 days will not be a big problem if you were admitted into the country, you can also keep proof of that "family emergency". Many people stay out of the US for more than 6 months and it most likely will not be a problem if they have good enough reason to do so and also the prove it if and when the officers want to see the proof. I suggest you talk to an immigration attorney beforehand so the attorney can do an analysis and make sure you are fine to come in. Many immigration attorneys...

Q: Changed my name when I became citizen n400, now I need proof to re-new Russian passport.
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
If you did change your name in the N-400 form, it should have been changed. If you do not see it changed you need to contact USCIS to find out what went wrong. You can set up an infopass or call the NVC customer center to find out what is missing. All the best.

Q: What will happen to my existing H1 Extension, when my H1 Transfer got approved, filed from another employer?
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
This is a complex situation, you can not expect an attorney to do this for free. Incase you didn't know this is a public forum for general questions. If you have a very specific question you need to talk to an attorney in private. Or consider asking these questions to the immigration attorney who filed your H1B. All the best.

Q: If i go back to brazil before i turn 18 and before i obtain unlawful presence. Can i apply for a visa there to come back
Shan Dimitris Potts' answer
It depends, I would suggest talking to an immigration attorney first before leaving. Since you have DACA you have proven immigration intent and if you apply for another visa and try to come back the immigration officers who interview you might not believe your non immigrant intent and therefore deny your visa application. So talk to an immigration attorney and figure out what is the best option for you and follow that. All the best.

Q: I have a court order to pay child support in puerto rico and I have my son what do I do if no one in asume picks up pho
Jerome N. Goldstein Esq.'s answer
Your question is incomplete as you do not state whether your son is in Connecticut, where the orders involving custody and support were set, and what the affidavit was for. From what you state your question may require an attorney in Puerto Rico if that was where the court orders you refer were set. More information is needed.
