You will need to take your agreement to a lawyer to review. It is not possible to construe the terms based on your summary description. There can be support and maintenance payments by agreement that are not treated as alimony. Alimony has a distinct meaning and set of legal rules that apply to it,... Read more »
I'm 23 years old, and my parents have power of attorney over me - I agreed to it at the time, they presented it in a way that seemed reasonable and I didn't realize THAT'S CRAZY. They have both the medical kind (HIPAA permission?) and durable PoA for non-medical stuff.

You can revoke at any time in writing. Ideally, you simply create a new POA that revokes all prior POAs. You should send written notice to whomever is named agent under your POA being revoked. That way, if they attempt to act, they are doing so knowing their authority or revoked, which makes them... Read more »

Call the police, have them investigate it as elder financial abuse. They can talk to him and scare him off. Of course, if he’s in your mother’s neighborhood then it may make things uncomfortable. If things escalate she can seek a protective order (peace order). If she has other neighbors... Read more »

Any Maryland lawyer can answer your question. If you are looking to hire a lawyer from Baltimore, that is a different issue. The first question any lawyer would have for you is, does anyone (e.g., your sister) have a power of attorney executed by your mother appointing them as your mother's... Read more »
do i need a lawyer? if so, what is a reasonable fee for just document review and possibly just representation in court?
You should always consult and use a lawyer in a divorce action. Real property, retirement assets, pensions, alimony, property division, health insurance, etc., are all on the table and can be affected (gained or lost) if you do not protect yourself. The danger is in not knowing what you do not... Read more »
It's a second degree assult case where my boyfriend and I were fighting police got involved and he got arrested the judge told him he wasn't allowed to contact me but I have contacted him can he get arrested if we get back together since I contacted him not vise versa
Yes, he is violating a condition of his release on bond by having contact wth you. It does not matter that you are the one who initiated the contact. Of course, the police likely have no way to know about any contact, until the two of you get into another fight and police are called again, and... Read more »

I recently received the bill from my dentist whose services I used until May, 2019.
The bill included services that were done from December 2017 to May 2019. Since the accuracy of billing had always been a concern of mine I’m going to check the dentist office number.
But before I... Read more »
It will depend on whether each of the dental procedures were either (1) part of a single overall plan for one total price that took multiple procedures to complete, or (2) whether each procedure was a separate unrelated dental procedure with a price charged for each. In the former situation, the... Read more »
I’m backed up on rent a bit and needed alittle more time to find a place
You are on a month-to-month lease as of this time (automatically reverts to month-to-month if not renewed). So, the Landlord (LL) is free to give you notice. However, it's illegal to simply boot your stuff to the curb (not that it doesn't happen, just that it's relatively rare... Read more »
The rowhouse homeowner was doing renovations & hired a contractor to remove the old oil tank in the basement. They dropped the tank and oil spilled on basement floor.

I assume you meant St. Charles, Maryland, and not Missouri. First, try calling the county department of the environment or health department to report the toxic spill and contamination affecting neighboring properties and health.

You should request a trial and not a waiver hearing within 30 days and go to court. If the police officer does not appear, you will be acquitted. If the police officer appears, you can have a trial. The judge will decide if you ran the red light. Even if you are convicted, the judge can offer you... Read more »

He can send you texts, letters and talk to whomever he wants. You can do the same. Unless you signed an NDA, the only thing to worry about is a defamation suit--and the truth of what you say is a complete defense to a defamation claim. If you signed an NDA, have a lawyer review it to determine... Read more »
In 2014/2015 I took out an auto loan through my credit union, paid off loan by 2018, and filed Ch.7 in 2020. I had a credit card through the same credit union with about $1000 balance when the Ch.7 was discharged. I was never advised by the attorney, court, or credit union of the... Read more »
Since the car was paid off in 2018 the release should have been given to you, regardless of any balance on the credit card, at that time. Said another way, the event that gave rise to the lien release happened before the bankruptcy case was filed. The cross collateralization clause cannot affect... Read more »
The suspect can face charges such as failing to obey a command from a police officer among other charges. I do not think that the suspect could be criminally responsible for another car striking the officer during the chase.
If you have been charged in Baltimore City, you should see if you are eligible for Veteran's Court.

Perhaps it is time to pay a lawyer to do this for you. This is not a forum to request that lawyers draft documents for you as their answer, and the only way to see how your specific document fails to comply with the code requirements is for a lawyer to read what you have drafted, and compare it to...

Shouldn't I be able to get this thrown out being that the law is justified by being literal... that's a huge loop hole..was the cop drunk? How is that possible?
These things are unlikely to result in a dismissal of the tickets unless you are claiming that it was not you. You should still request a trial within 30 days of the offense and go to court.
She is the executor of the will saying he will donate and not give to me I really need help and I really need help getting my trust cuz my uncle is trying to keep it from me and I don't know what to do
There is no reasonable way to evaluate your position without reviewing the trust document to determine the trust instructions and, potentially, formation issues and breaches of fiduciary duties. Schedule a consult with a qualified lawyer.
My mother passed away April 10th, I went to the court and found out that she had a Will. Looking at the Will I noticed that I was not listed at all on the WILL and as being her only child I found that odd. when she became sick she made her friend her POA, she felt she was able to be there for her....

Of course you can challenge the Will. It is not an easy process, but if there was undue influence, lack of capacity, or the signature isn't genuine, those are all grounds to caveat the Will. You will have no chance of success without legal counsel, and you will almost surely need to pay... Read more »
