Limited Power Of Attorney: Fill & Download for Free

What are my options? My landlord is in a long term health facility due to dementia. He gave his brother power of attorney. My landlord’s brother is trying to sell the house we currently are renting but we have a lease agreement until June 2023.The brother has power-of-attorney, so he most certainly can sell the house if he so chooses. He may HAVE to sell it to either cover his brother’s expenses (skilled nursing facilities are not cheap) or for his brother to meet certain income/net worth requirements for assistance with his medical expenses.Depending on the state in which you live, your options may be limited. In some states, the buyer must honor your lease to its end - same terms, same rent, etc. They MUST give you a new lease with the new owner’s name and contact information so you can pay rent, but the terms and conditions must be the same.In some states, you merely need to be given 30–60 days notice of lease termination. That notice period cannot start until the transaction closes, however, so you have some time.Your BEST option is to work WITH the brother on the sale. Many investors look for houses with good, long-term tenants because it means instant cash flow with very little outlay on their part (no need to paint, advertise, etc). If you are a good tenant - always keep the property tidy, pay rent on time, don’t cause trouble - then you’re exactly what an investor is looking for when buying a rental property. Make sure the brother knows you WANT to stay and will help him in any way possible to sell the house to an investor, rather than to someone who wants to move in. Then do it - help an investor WANT you as a tenant.

Back in the old days of English law, there were two courts - courts of equity and courts of law. Courts of law dealt with violations of written code (similar to modern-day criminal law, though not necessarily limited to criminal infractions). Courts of equity dealt with matters of "fairness" outside the codified laws.One could be an "attorney at law" or an "attorney at equity", depending on which court one practiced before. Now that we have a unified court system, it is just a remnant of the old bifurcation that existed.There's also the fact that an "attorney" is merely someone acting in the place of another, providing representation for their best interests. Such as under a "power of attorney". This person is technically an "attorney-in-fact", as distinguished from an "attorney-at-law" in that they are not practicing law in court.Note: As mentioned in the comments, England no longer has a bifurcated system as well, and lawyers who practice law there are generally referred to as "Solicitors" or "Barristers", and rarely (if ever) "Attorney".

Question: Why did Ayn Rand rely on government help, when she became ill, after speaking against the idea for years?Because like most people, Ayn Rand was a hypocrite.She constantly preached an ethos which she believed to be “good” for others, while doing things that violated that same ethos when it came to her own personal well-being and benefit. Since no one was likely going to know about her receiving government benefits until after her death (if ever) she simply did not care about doing it. In fact, if she hadn’t, she would have reduced to penury in her final years due to bad investments and profligate spending.Rand and her husband were coming to the point where they could retire, but had not planned ahead sufficiently for that retirement to be very comfortable. Additionally Rand, a lifelong heavy smoker, developed lung cancer in 1974, and the medical expenses were likely going to bankrupt the couple. Her attorney had his assistant speak with Rand about enrolling in Social Security and Medicare and after several reportedly contentious meetings, Rand gave the assistant limited power of attorney so that she could enroll her and her husband in those programs. Ironically, according to records, Rand received slightly less than $12,000 from Social Security from 1976 until her death in 1982, an amount she could have easily earned in a month or less had she been similar in her work ethic as her fictional characters were.Ayn Rand was a hypocrite and worse than that, she was a phony because she failed to acknowledge her own hypocrisy.References:FACT CHECK: Did Ayn Rand Receive Social Security Benefits?Rand On the Dole
