Power Of Attorney For Bank Account: Fill & Download for Free

The same thing that would happen to any other prisoner's assets. He'll probably lose them.The US doesn't make any special provisions for your stuff, unless you've got fines to pay, then kindly Uncle Sam might seize them. If you've got quite a bit of money, you'll probably have people help you manage whatever remains after the trial.For everyone else, the middle class and the poor, I saw the same story over and over again. A guy will sign power of attorney over to his mother/brother/sister/girlfriend/whatever and within a few months, it's gone. Homes are lost to foreclosure, cars repossessed for lack of payment, clothes, guitars, stamp collections, and everything else are put out on the sidewalk by landlords eager to start getting rent again.If a prisoner has bank accounts, 401k’s or other investments, he'll have to give someone power of attorney to deal with them. If robbed blind, what recourse does he have? How could he possibly file civil suit? A simple change of address would be a nightmare to deal with without the help of someone on the outside to do footwork.If the prisoner never gives power of attorney, then the assets will remain until he dies and then be dealt with like any other probate (except that some states might try to claim whatever is there).Make no mistake, for many who go to prison, the time behind bars is a small part of the punishment. The total cost for my tour of duty is approaching one million dollars. I'm surviving, but those most important to me have suffered in ways they're not even aware of yet.

I once discovered by looking through a court docket and corresponding case files that an individual had filed several lawsuits against me, that had never been served.The suits were eviction suits for failure to pay rent. There were several issues:I had always paid rent in a timely manner directly to the owner of the property.The individual filing the suits was not the owner of the property.The judge rejected the suits before they were served because he/she didn’t accept the power of attorney as valid. The individual who was filing the suits, claimed to have a power of attorney from the owner of the property.In response, I filed a suit against the actual owner of the property, requesting that I pay the rent to the Court, and thereby avoid any questions over whether the rent was paid. An order to that effect was issue by the Court.For me, that was a very odd concept. A suit against your landlord so you could pay your rent! What was even more surprising, is that the Court had a special bank account for those kinds of payments. The bank had a special line for people making those kinds of payments. That was always a very long line! It would always be a minimum of an hour wait!Quite some time later (maybe upwards of a year), I found out that the property had been sold by the same individual who had tried to evict me, using a “power of attorney”.Edit: I should add that was in Costa Rica, and harassment from that individual is what led me to be looking through the court docket.

I was in the middle of a divorce with a man who was in prison. He was facing over 30 years and received 10. His crime was more or less cheating on me with a minor. As soon as I announced the divorce my mother in law called everyday screaming at me why was I divorcing her son and that she didn’t understand. Then came the status hearings before the divorce. The court found out that I was left, without an income, literally in the middle of the night. My ex had a bank account in his name only. The bank didn’t acknowledge community property, I was granted $17k from a joint account. I also informed the court that I was moving to another state. My husband’s sole name was on all the accounts and I couldn’t cancel any of them. I was granted a POA (Power of Attorney) to be drawn up by my husband’s attorney. She never did. And…instead…gave the power of attorney to my mother in law who drained the account after I took my part. In that hearing I was also granted all the property in the house and the cars. My mother in law wanted the car that they gave us back. I claimed undue hardship. Then she called my attorney everyday to get “her son’s possessions”. So I packed what I wanted up. My attorney gave me grief about my mother in law. I gave a date (as my attorney required) as to when they could pick things I didn’t want up. I was told that if they didn’t show then I could do whatever I wanted with the stuff. They never showed. Then, one day, weeks after they showed on my door step. I called the police. So then they made a stink about coming back again…two days before I had to move out of the house I rented. I made a deal that she would have to take everything in the three car garage. She did not. I was left with a packed garage. So then it was time for me to move. I forwarded all the mail, including his, to my new address 2000 miles away. There was some important mail that I was waiting for. She comes in and forwards all his mail to her when I was still married to him. She has the nerve to reforward opened mail that was his bills. Now I’m getting another nasty call from my attorney. Why am I not closing the bills out. I tell her that I’ve already tried. This was the point of the POA that I was never given. And now his attorney is no longer practicing. Because of this my divorce hearing was continued for two years. She didn’t tell he son that he no longer had an attorney. The divorce was almost continued for another year. Oh, and did I mention that my mother in law got my ex the attorney and used the money from the bank account to pay for it (and the move). He was supposed to sign the divorce papers and leave me with everything, but that’s okay I hit him with a no contact order. Now, neither he or a representative from his family acting on his behalf are allowed to contact me. The worse thing about this is that this woman has done the same thing to his two other ex wives.
