Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey
My relative had to have both her hands amputated and is now unable to sign documents. She is completely fine mentally. My question is does she need to get a power of attorney so that someone else can sign documents such as checks for her? Thank you.
1 Answer from Attorneys
In order for her to create a power of attorney, she would still have to sign that document.
She herself should consult a lawyer who would be able to advise her how she will be able to sign documents and take care of other legal matters on her own.
This response is not legal advice, since I do not have all of the information that would be required, and I do not have a representation agreement with you.
* If the answers to your question confirm that you have a valid issue or worthwhile claim, your next step should almost always be to establish a dialog with a lawyer who can provide specific advice to you. Contact a lawyer in your county or township.
* Another reason for contacting a lawyer is that it is often impossible to give a good answer in the Internet Q&A format without having more information. The unique circumstances of your situation and things that you may not have thought to mention in your question may completely change the answer. If you want to be sure that you have a complete answer to your question and an understanding of what that answer means, establish a connection with a lawyer who practices in the area of your concern.
