I scratched a car while parking at my local train station, had to catch a train so I called the police department once I got on the train. I took a picture of the license plate and the police left my contact information with the car. I'm going to the police department tonight to pick up my 'report'. Is that any indication that I have to go to court? Additionally, I was pulled over for speeding last month and fear suspension of my license. What are the implications of this situation, and how much of an increase would six-nine points add to my insurance premium?

How can a person in a nursing facility under Medicaid get legal assistance to revoke a Durable Healthcare Power of Attorney (DPA) when facing objections from the current DPA, despite having mental capacities? The Medicaid Program suggests the right to an Ombudsman for advocacy, but assistance has not been accessible. The situation involves a patient in North Carolina, whose nursing home has sent a signed request for revocation to the current DPA, who responded with a document the patient claims is not her signature. No further paperwork has been filed or reported with the state, other than possibly Medicaid. The patient is in Genesis Senior Healthcare of Mooresville, NC, awaiting long-term placement, and the sister is seeking help at the patient's request as her representative.

Can my HOA tow my husband's car that is parked on the street in front of our home in Texas because his tags are expired, even though the car operates? The house is in my name, and he is not on the deed. The car is his, and I received a letter from the HOA stating the car is improperly stored.
