full power of attorney for inmate out of state

[caliemazuke]

My friend was sentenced to 50 year no early release. He wants to give me full power of attorney so i can take care of anything that comes up. He can not afford a lawyer or any fees. I live in California and he lives,was charged and incarcerated in Louisiana. What is the course of action to take with a situation such as this?

In my opinion, the course of action to take would be to politely decline. If you truly wish to continue on this crazy path, then consult with a Louisiana attorney about the matter.

If he cannot afford an attorney or any fees, then what issues could he possibly have on the outside that would require him to need someone to be his POA? A POA cannot represent him in court or do anything like that.

If there are some assets that he needs to be liquidated and placed in his commissary account a POA could help him with that, but with you being in CA you would not be much help with that sort of thing.

Vermin like him support arguments in favor of the death penalty.

Disassociate yourself with that POS, or anybody like him, right now.

Ask him why he wants someone to be his POA and of course, decline, but suggest that it should be someone who lives locally in the area.
