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] Grammatical Error
Saw this grammatical error, and I wasn't sure how to clear it up.
"However, such as asking someone else to sign your name on a check because your arm is broken—or may be in writing."
I didn't want to edit out any pertinent information, so if someone else knows more, feel free.
[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)
[edit] Removed from main page
I removed the following form the main page while cleaning up:
[1]UK Government Public Guardianship Office - Clear explanation of the process by the office that manages Enduring Power of Attorney
Note: Enduring Power of Attorney is to be replaced with Lasting Power of Attorney in October 2007
Since it doesn't actually provide information, just pushes people to another website. I moved it here in the hope someone would like to use it to write a section (if the link is in fact good). -- Siobhan Hansa 13:11, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Power of Attorney end date?
If someone has gotten a General Power of Attorney done and it was notorized. Is the General Power of Attorney still good after the Notary's expiration date? Example, John Doe pens a General Power of Attorney to Jane Doe dated and signed Jan 1, 1994 and it is Notarized by Jack Smith, whose commission ends on Dec 31, 1995. Ten years later, Jane Doe is financially strapped, has divorced John Doe, but has a copy of a deed of property that is in John Doe's name. Can she in effect, sell the property using the General Power of Attorney as long as nothing was done to revoke it? Or does it expire with the Notary's commission?
- If I'm not mistaken, it does not expire with the Notary's commission. Nothing a Notary does while commissioned expires at the end unless it's explicitly stated. krikkert (Talk) 17:56, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Typo: October 2008
"These came into being in October 2008" probably should be October 2007 based on the footnote
