Talk:Power of attorney

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If I have an order from the court to pay me attorney fees, and the payee would not pay, I try to put a lein on her home, but is in someone elses name, yet she has power of attorney on that property, can I put a lein on that property?

[edit] Comment regarding attorney in fact versus attorney at law

Dear fellow editors: I deleted the language in the first paragraph of the article regarding a signature in connection with the filing of a suit. It's not that the language is technically incorrect -- it's just that it might be misleading to some people. At least in the United States, a person who is an attorney in fact could legally sign documents (such as pleadings) for a plaintiff in a lawsuit -- but generally only if the attorney in fact also happens to be licensed as an attorney at law (a lawyer).

[edit] UK legislation

Does anyone have a good link for details of the UK Powers of Attorney Act 1971? Only acts since 1988 seem to be on the www.parliament.uk web site. — User:PhilHibbs | 15:40, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
