I found reference on the world wide web to the assertion that an agent (aka attorney-at-fact, principal) can’t prepare a Will, vote or seek a divorce on the principal`s behalf at http://www.durable-power-of-attorney.com

Needless to say, I have a sibling with a Durable Power of Attorney (granted by my father before he was declared legally incompetent) who is now trying to divorce my parents. Is there some general legal reason (eg. constitutional, statutory, etc) that prevents someone (like my sibling) from using a Durable Power of Attorney to do just that (eg. divorce my parents). I am specifically looking for some legal doctrine, principal of law and/or previous judicial precedent that prevent a sibling from divorcing my parents!

It is hard to believe that someone other than my mother and father could divorce the two of them. After all, it was my mother and father who decided to get marrired in the first place. How could someone else decide that two people shouldn’t be together and then seek a divorce on their behalf?

Father was moved to another home due to abuse he received at this facility. They are now suing me for his past bills at this nursing home. Am I liable for my Fathers debts?

Does an off duty border patrol agent have legal authority

Does an off duty border patrol agent have legal authority to detain someone and initiate an arrest? Im in san diego,ca & the agent approached the vehicle while parked in public parking lot.He shined his light in the car,displaying his badge,&announcing himself as an officer ordering them out of the car.In which he then pulled them out,had them up against the car while he searched their persons,emptied their pockets,&collected their IDs.He instructed them to sit on the curb (which they thought they were already basically arrested) while he radioed it in & detained them for police arrival. The incident started because he claimed to have seen 1person in the car smoking a pipe (however it was pitch black in an unlit parking lot at the beach, & he would’ve had to be able to see through his tinted window & their car window, in complete darkness, from 2 parking stalls away (maybe 15ft), which doesn’t sound very probable to me. Is the way he proceeded legal & is there anyway to use this to fight the case? 0]
