Q. am i still responsible for my wife's medical bills after she passes

12 June 2020

A: It really depends if you signed as a guarantor of the bills, or did you not sign anything. Ask them for proof that you signed as a guarantor before you make anymore payments. Also remember that being a power of attorney does not automatically make you liable.

Q. Trustee and bank account

8 May 2020

A: First, you should be speaking with your counsel, if you have one. If you did not use Counsel, please check that you used the proper exemption (don't know if GA uses Federal or State-check with a lawyer) so that the funds in the account are exempt and the Trustee will not take it. If you failed to properly exempt it, it is subject to the Trustee levy, although you can argue that the funds should be exempt as maybe Exempt Means Test Funds. Hope this helps, but please check with a lawyer in your jurisdiction.

Q. My teenaged daughter took my car and hit another car. The woman is now suing us. Can I get a public defender?

24 April 2020

A: You do not indicate if you are being sued civilly or criminally. You may qualify for a public defender for a criminal matter but not a civil matter. If it is a civil matter, just turn the papers over to your insurance company which should provide you with counsel. If criminal, ask the court for a public defender, and see if you qualify
