I see. The opposing lawyer will only speak with you if you are her guardian, which she doesn’t need, and you don’t want to be.

Hi there, could you help me understand what a DPOA can do for the agent during a divorce?

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

I understand this must be a concerning situation for you. Can you please explain how the DPOA (Durable Power of Attorney) is related to your divorce?

I’m sorry, I meant what the agent can do for the principal during a divorce, if anything, in Michigan?

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Have you already consulted with a family lawyer regarding your divorce proceedings and the involvement of the DPOA?

Not yet.

Lexi

Lexi, Chatbot

Is there anything else the Family Lawyer should know before I connect you? Rest assured they’ll be able to help with your DPOA during divorce.

No, I don’t think so.

I’m helping my daughter with her divorce.

She’s making me her agent.

Does that allow me to communicate with opposing lawyers?

Hello! Legal Eagle here. I’m reviewing your issue in detail. I only need about 2-5 minutes to read, review, and respond to each of your posts. Also, I’m NOT artificial intelligence. I’m a real person. (I get that a lot!)

Is your daughter incapacitated or unable to make decisions on her own?

No, she is in her own mind.

Legal Eagle

Legal Eagle

Understood. So you’re just wondering what your rights are here, correct?

Yes.

Does your daughter often seek your advice and help with situations?

She often seeks my advice and help with situations.

How old is your daughter?

She is 20 years old now, and that’s not as easy as a young adult.

I see. The opposing lawyer will only speak with you if you are her guardian, which she doesn’t need, and you don’t want to be.

OK, so only if the lawyers agree, I see.

Legal Eagle

Legal Eagle

Yes, but you can offer her help with paperwork. 

OK, that’s helpful.

Were there any details I missed? Were there any concerns you still needed to be addressed?

Nothing comes to mind right now.

That was my biggest question, thank you.

Legal Eagle

Legal Eagle

For sure! Were there any other questions or concerns you had?

Maybe… custody discussions? Or does that fall under lawyering?

Legal Eagle

Legal Eagle

Yes, custody discussions would typically fall under legal representation.

Litigation?

Legal Eagle

Legal Eagle

 Yes, litigation matters should be handled by a licensed attorney.
