My grandfather is the manager of a large amount of properties in East Tennessee for some friends of his. They live out of state and have granted him a power of attorney to handle legal matters for them in the court rooms here. This past week, some moronic judge in Maryville, TN decided that he wasn't going to recognize his power of attorney in this current case. This same judge has accepted it before. The power of attorney was acquired legally and is properly notarized. This wacko is saying that the supreme court ruled on it recently making it illegal to have power's of attorney. That's just absurd. What about medical powers of attorney? Does he have any idea what he's doing
? This would make any power of attorney illegal. He can't just pick and choose which ones he wants to observe. I say he needs to be disbarred and impeached. What a moron!
!! Does anyone here know anything about this or do you think this judge is politically motivated. Supposedly, the defendents dad has "connections." I don't see how this could be allowed to stand. The judge said that my grandfather would have to get a lawyer to represent his friends in order to handle this because the "power of attorney" wouldn't be observed. What can be done to punish him for this flagrant misuse of the judiciary? Can the gov. be forced to pay the lawyers fees because of this. Any Ideas???
