If your father has been declared mentally incompetent to handle his personal affairs, the court that declared him incompetent will now authorize someone to act legally on his behalf.  Who in your family or perhaps a court appointed attorney has been appointed to handle his affairs. \n\nWhat ever court declared him incompetent will be able to tell you who is assigned to conduct his business. Court records are public property so if you know which court declared him incompetent you can request a copy if the court order to see who has been appointed bis guardian.\n\nIf you are not that person, and from you asking the question, there is nothing that you an do about the situation.\n\nI hope this has helped you in some way, good luck

Contractually, I don't see anything here that legally obligates you to pay for his error. Read your final closing statement thoroughly to see how much he's already received.  Usually, commercial loans are handled by the banks directly w/o the use of third party brokers, so try going direct w/ the bank for any questions/concerns.  The loans funded, so I wouldn't pay a dime since he won't be able to prove your legal obligation.  What could he do?

No, creditors should not seize the account. Although when you marry someone you assume their debt, you mom is not on the acocunt. These laws vary from state to state though. The account that  your father uses would contain your Dad's social security income which is considered public assistance (governmant money) it is illegal to touch that money. If this becomes a problem then your family may have ground for a lawsuit. If you are interested in protecting your family's financial and legal identity, I have some thing that may help assist with any legal questions or situations in the future. Please go to my website @ www.prepaidlegal.com/hub/kvmclish to see a  presentation or call 1-800-394-6919  listen and let me know what you think. I would love your feed back! Please e-mail me back @ k_mclish@yahoo.com and I will be glad to answer any questions you may have. At that point, if you are open to it, we may exchange numbers. Hope this helps!!! \n\n~Karen

Tell your Dad he had better cease and desist, you are 50% owner of the home and ALL decisions concerning the property need to be jointly made. Any money that is generated by the property you are entitled to 50% of, unless there are other stipulations. If he does not comply, you might need to get a lawyer, it sucks, but that might be your only recourse.

If money is tight, I would suggest contacting a local Legal Aid center. Usually, free legal clinics like that will have you meet with a volunteer lawyer there, who will assess your factual situation and determine whether the center can do something for you or, if your situation is particularly complicated, refer you to a lawyer who has a referral relationship with the center. At least, you may be able to get some information that will help you better formulate how to go about resolving the problem you're having with your grandfather's daughter. Sometimes, all it takes is a demand letter (i.e., a threat to sue) to prompt people to solve a problem without ever going into litigation.

are you in England?\n\nIf so, they usually use a tracing agent and he will most certainly be caught if he tries to apply for further credit.\n\nYou need to contact the people he owes money to though, otherwise it can reflect badly on your own credit rating. If you explain the situation, they are really understanding. My family went through the same with my brother. They will find him eventually though, they usually persuade them to make an agreement to start paying it off month by month

Here are two suggestions which might help.  \n\nGo to your local mental health center and have a social worker become involved in the process.  They often have lawyers who work for free and have almost a 100% success rate.\n\nWrite a letter to your state Senator explaining the details of what has taken place so far.  Many times he will have someone investigate the claim and this tends to speed up the process.\n\nBefore you filed your appeal, you could have asked for a reconsideration which would have taken less time.\n\nI have a friend whose daughter was mentally ill to the point of being in a wheel chair, unable to speak, eat on her own, or respond to other people and they denied her before she finally started receiving SSI.  The system is set up to prevent people who don’t have disabilities from getting SSI and too often people who deserve SSI have to suffer for this.\n\nPS: I know this is hard time for you and your son, but hang in there and when this time has passed, everything will get better..Good Luck.

I think that you sure go to the Citizen's Advice Bureau and get some help. The father of your child should be helping you, I would suggest that you take him to court. But the C.A.B would be able to advise you on how you can go about this and they should give you all the help you need

Try your county Social Services Department.  They probably will be able to refer you to agencies appropriate for your particular need,  whether it be "crisis assistance" or "credit counseling"

If he signed the lease, in almost all cases he is on the hook for the entire duration of the lease. An exception might be if the lease was invalid or illegal for some reason (violation of a state or local law). He might consider:\n- Offer to buy out the lease from the landlord.\n- Sublet the appartment to someone else. This usually requires cooperation with the landlord.\n- Moving out. He is still on the hook but the landlord will probably try to rerent. This will screw up your Dad's credit score.\n- Get a roommate to help pay the rent.\n- Have him find two or three jobs that combine to pay enough for him to pay his bills.\n\nGood Luck to ya!

Jesus shmeesus, take him to court for the back support.  Get the courts to put him in jail if he doesn't pay.  He wants to play games over some five year-old tax check?  You have all the power.  It's time you started acting like it.  You can put this guy through a wall if you want to.  Go get him.

He's your dad, be honest.  say "Dad, i'd love to come, but I'm a bit strapped for cash at the moment".\n\nif he says "Well, i was going to pay anyway, seeing as you paid last time", then you're sorted!

Tell him to call the mental health office - or the hotline and they will give him information regarding FREE counseling services.  The thing with medical assistance is they can only check the accounts that you give them- if he has the money in a separate account from his checking, he can probably get away without them knowing about it.  People of multiple accounts in many banks for that reason-- rich have them in off shore accounts.  Best of luck to your friend, you seem like a really good friend to be doing this for him  And there are family crisis centers that can give counseling to the whole family and by the way, he doesn't have a job so he should go to social services in his town and see what else they can do to help him get back on his feet--- again, he should not disclose that one bank account- and if it IS linked to his primary checking that he uses and they would ask for the records for, he should withdraw the monies from that bank and put it elsewhere and explain the withdrawal as a repayment of a loan to YOU.

This unfortunately is just life. Do not loan anyone money or housing or food or anything else that you can't afford to lose, because you will be disappointed this way. Next time you get into a deal like this, have the other party sign an agreement (at least you will have it in writing). That won't get you paid, but it will make it easier to pursue should you choose. You will find that it is best to avoid these situations entirely. \nNow, that said, you could send him a bill (do this on your computer - make it neat, and then print him a copy). Mail it to him and be specific what the charges are for (dates of the stay, etc). Give him a phone number to call to discuss it. Mail by registered mail requiring an acceptance signature. If he does not respond by phone, send another letter the next month (same rules). He may just get tired of it and pay up. If he doesn't pay up, you will have a little documentation to rest charges on. I don't know how much we are talking about here, but it may be better to just chalk it up to experience, and be smarter next time. I have had to do that a few times as lessons learned. Good luck with your problem - hey, at least you don't still have the moocher living with you.

Smartest thing to do is make a contract/statement up stating person has lived there so n so months "rent free" (your choice or not?)and has no job wanted to do your best to help said person on their feet, all has failed, now are giving the person X ammount of days to get out,or contribute. Have that person sign it, with your signature as well. wouldnt hurt to give that person a copy as well you keep the original! \nFor future references its best to have "Everything in WRITING" And keep as many expense reciepts as well.

first of all, be careful who you meet off the internet. No offence to daniel.b but you wouldnt leave your kids with him if he offered would you and you didnt know him? so check out VERY carefully. get your lawyer to double check everything. my dad funds businesses short term, so like you, wants his money back + extra within a few years. He says if your new to the game be careful. I say, property. I am 19 years old, and on a gap year b4 i go to university next year. I got left enough money in my god fathers will to purchase a house last year. No mortgage (he left me a lot of money) i rented it out to a few families who wanted whilst they went sailng nearby. made a mint and im proud of it. gonna have no uni debts, my own house and a car to my name. already lookin at buyin a flat with all the rent thats comin in to add to my "empire" lol! but seriously, houseprices in the uk are on the up, not sure what theyr like in the us, but property is DEFINATLEY the way.there is so much settin up required as a franchisee and yes, gene therapy or stem cell reseach is a money maker, but not COMPLETE guarentees due to laws etc. good luck!
