Why do companies have legal departments when they refer cases to outside law firms?
Why hire lawyers and paralegals and secretaries? When the litigation is outsourced? For instance, the big insurance companies have legal departments with lawyers, paralegals, and legal secretaries…but also local attorney networks across the country.
Why?

Can someone’s legal power of attorney file bankruptcy for them?

My mother is bed ridden and unable to go to a lawyer’s office to file bankruptcy papers for herself. I am wondering I am with my rights to do so on her behalf as her legal power of attorney?
How does someone who is bed ridden and infirmed to the point that they cannot travel file for bankruptcy? She is not able to go do an office visit and needs someone to come to her residence to sign the paperwork. I am asking this question because I thought I could do so as her representative and legal power of attorney.
Is it legal for a live-in boyfriend to claim children on IRS taxes?

Situation: A boyfriend and girlfriend have been living together for less than one year. The two children do not belong to the boyfriend. They are the girlfriend’s children. When it was time to file for ‘06, the boyfriend claimed both of the children (with gf’s permission) on his tax form. Is this legal? Do you know anyone who has done this & then the IRS wanted the BIG refund back?? Is there a website that would say if this is legal? I searched on the IRS website but did not see anything. Thanks for your help!
The girlfriend did not claim the children. They boyfriend claimed and then they split the money.
LOL! It wasn’t me. I don’t even have kids, AND I’m married!
I’m not sure what he put on the tax return for the relationship. They are not married and have probably only been together about a year total now…
If gay marriage were legal, would you marry another heterosexual to get a bigger income tax refund?

Single people get hammered on taxes while married couples with children hit the jackpot every time they file their taxes. Say you have an friend that is a single parent and you both happen to be heterosexual and the same sex. Would you legally marry that person to increase the amount of your income tax refund?
Okay you tax specialists—I have a question about deductions for legal fees incurred on estates.?

I need to know if there are any deductions for legal fees for a widow. I also had a car that the estate should have signed over to me because I paid fees and bills for the estate and also they owed me money for my late husband’s income. The estate was insolvent. I was only married for 4 months to my husband. We had lived together for 1 and 1/2 years. He did not put my name on the accounts or update his will. Therefore his 21 year old son got the house and all of the assets. Therefore my attorney says that I get everything on my personal set aside list, including the car. I do not get the house. I gave the house to my stepson(in Texas the widow can live in the house as long as she wants.) I am fighting legally to receive the list. Are any of the legal fees tax deductible?
