Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in California
Levy on power of attorney account
My girlfriend is a power of attorney,
not a joint tenant on my checking
account. Her old landlord levied my
account for past rent and repairs to
her old apartment which the landlord
had done no repairs to in the 9 years
she lived there. Do they have the
right to levy my account? I was
given no notice and now have no
money.

Re: Levy on power of attorney account
There is a procedure for making a claim of exemption from levy. Its in the paperwork you received. You need to go before a judge in her lawsuit and provide a judge with documentation to the effect that she does not own the account, the funds in the account are not hers, that she cannot sign on the account, and have the levy removed. Next step is to remove her as a POA on your account immediately.
