Legal Question in Family Law in California
Power of Attoreny to Sign for the Petitioner
I am a registered LDA (Legal Document Assistant). I signed and then filed a Petition for Legal Seperation for my sister at her request while she was enroute from Oregon to California a few weeks ago. I have an executed Power of Attorney with her as Grantor and me as Attorney-in-Fact dated prior to the signing. We did not have the POA notarized. When I signed the petition, I signed with her name and my initials. Her estranged husband is trying to ''bring me down'' - whatever that means - and is saying that he will be seeking an action through the District Attorney for fraud. I do not think any harm has been done - he is just trying to make some threats probably but it does have me a bit nervous. Could you please advise?

Not sure California has jurisdiction. She apparently did not live in California when the documents were filed. Contact attorney to review and assist.

If you acted with her permission, and signed her name with your initials based upon her consent, I do not think you have to worry about it.
Good luck to you!
