Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
if a friend signs over a $5,000.00 CD in my name about 4 years ago and her power attorney cashes it in, is that legal?

Not enough info. If you have a CD in your name - unless you are dead or have a power of attorney, no one should be assigning this to anyone.

If the CD was solely in your name, another person's agent under a power of attorney cannot cash-in your account. Consult with an attorney about your particular situation for more information. Regards,
