Co-signed car loan
Have car loan with friend as co-signer taken out about 18 months ago or longer. His name is first on the loan. I am unable to keep the car. Financially impossible. I would like to return car to bank or him. His parents have power of attorney. What can they as co-rigners do to me in garnishment, etc. as my job now only pays 6.00 to 7.00 per hour. Cannot afford for this to happen. Have tried other ways to work our, cannot refinance due to lack of much credit history. Help is appreciated. thanks

I was in a severe car accident a couple of years ago; I was in a medically induced coma and then was unable to take care of myself for a while afterwards due to a traumatic brain injury. Because of this, my mother was able to get power of attorney. I suspect that my mother received settlement money from both Menard’s (the company whose truck I was in an accident with) and her insurance company. How would I go about finding out if anything like this took place without my knowledge?
I was told she got power of attorney over me, in order to make medical decisions, but I believe the next of kin has that right without a power of attorney, if you are unable to make decisions for yourself.

Being declared incompetent after changing deed and life insurance beneficiary
An elderly woman whose mental state has been deteriorating for some time, added an unrelated person to her home’s deed.She also changed the beneficiary on her life insurance to the same person, 7 months ago. We believe she would not have done this if mentally stable and believe she was manipulated by the newly named beneficiary. The woman’s nephew who lives in another state, was named as her power of attorney, years ago. Due to her current mental state, she is likely to be declared incompetent. Can her nephew petition the court to reverse the changes made to her deed and life insurance? What are the chances the court will have the second name removed from the deed and reinstate the original beneficiary to the life insurance policy?

Power of Attorney Form.

Power of Attorney Form….Which one is best for my situation?
I have a 36 yr old brother who is somewhat mentally disabled (schizophrenia). He has difficulty managing his affairs on his own, and has recently moved into a personal care home. I am his only living family member (sister) here in Houston. I plan to seek legal guardianship in the near future, however, at this immediate time, I am interested in obtaining ”Power of Attorney” so I can help him resolve some financial issues that occurred (he incurred) w/ his bank/other organizations (i.e., Fiesta) while he was in and out of the psych centers of several different hospitals over the past 3 mos. Although notices were sent to him from his bank, he did not receive them due to his being in the hospital; hence, b/c of his non-response, ”amounts due” have since been turned over to a collection agency. I would like to try and help him in resolving this issue. MY QUES: I understand I need to obtain Power of Attorney in order to even talk w/ the bank/collection agencies about this issue. I’ve noticed there is both a ”General” Power of Attorney & also a ”Durable” Power of Attorney form online I can download from the Internet (for a small fee). Which one of these forms is most appropriate for my situation? Anything else I need to be aware of? TY.
