What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
Hi, my boyfriend and I had some legal issues, and had to rent out my condo on very short notice. My boyfriend was in custody and the only help I had was my parents.
My boyfriend gave me permission over the phone to start to sell what I could of various tools, electronics, etc. Suddenly all valuables started to quickly start disapeering. First blame went on scumbags who knew I was either alone, or not home. Little did I know My parents were operating under what could be referred to as a "hidden agenda"; Taking away any means of financial survival I could possibly retain after wat amounted to a significant loss of assets and means, all in an attempt to railroad me into leaving the state and living in what is essentially a rehab for no less than 14 months. I was coerced into signing a power of attorney, which within hours resulted in my parents taking ownership of my house. They forced me to pack up everything I owned and put in one of two places. 1 being a storage unit I cannot access, or even know the location of, or at my parents house. Knowing I had no way to generate income, that the sole generator of my households income was in jail, and they were my only option other than living on the streets they proceeded to remove all options other than "going away".
Flash forward a few weeks, my boyfriend posts bond and very humbly doesn't dwell on the thousands of dollars of missing stuff. Asking about only The few things he needed for work, or were of value only to him. Other than a handful of stuff that was basically put into a "trash" pile, nothing was returned, and my father told him most was stolen out of the garage and he had no idea were it is. Flash forward a few days, I find a key that opens a locked storage shed in my parents back yard (Im still living there, my BF is not), inside is basically all the valuables that was assumed stolen by thieves. I was threatened into returning the key to them, and they then damn near kidnapped me, and transported me to a facility that I left almost immediately. Within 12 hours. Now, my personal stuff is still in their house, the rest of my belongings being in that shed, or a storage unit unknown to me. I am staying with my boyfriend, with no cloths, nothing, and my parents in a cold, hostile, calmness refuse to let me collect any of our stuff.
I have several questions about my situation. What property rights did my Boyfriend have while he was incarcerated, and being released after 3 weeks, and formally requesting his property returned to him, my parents not only refused to do so, lied and denied having anything in their possession. what can he do to ensure it returned to him, or the value re-payed? Also, after me not coming back home to their house for around 3 days due to wide variety of legal and personal threats being made twords me, how can i legally return home and collect my stuff and make an attempt to either inventory my BFs stuff (to help prove it was there in the event my parents try to relocate or sell it off) or collect it for him? For example, tomorrow they will both be out of the house. What are my legal boundaries pertaining to gaining access to the house without keys, trying to get in unlocked windows, etc.
Also, if I were to take them to small claims court, what would I have to do to ensure that they'd be responsible for any loss of property caused by them.
The drama is much more complicated than this, and Ill be following up with questions in real-state law, forgery, and bank fraud forums. Thanks for any and all help!
