What is the name of your state? Texas
I have received letters from an old neighbor, who since finding out about my dad's death wants $10,000 from me. Eleven years ago when my dad was taken away in an abulance, my brother and I (12 and 13 years old at the time) stay at the neighbor's house 2 nights while my dad was in the hospital. At that time my dad was in the USAF and his commanding officer had put together a power of attorney for the neighbor not knowing how long my brother and I were going to stay with her. As I said we stayed for 2 nights, then my aunts came up from Texas. We lived in Maryland at the time this all took place. So now the old neighbor is trying to sue me and my brother for $10,000 stating she had power of attorney, and she cared for us for 2-3 years. My first question is can she sue a person who was a minor at the time? Can she sue out of state? She now lives in Penn. Can she sue a person after 11 years? Does she even have a case? I have the power of attoneys that were given to my aunts 1 week after we stayed at her house, doesn't that revoke her power of attorney? I know this can be a confusing case, I would appreciate any feed back.
