Terrence H Thorgaard
I was born and raised in Fairbanks, Alaska, where I practiced law from 1977. I was a municipal attorney for the first part of my legal career, and then switched to private practice. I conducted a general private law practice, with emphasis in civil litigation and bankruptcy. I also taught several college-level courses relating to various aspects of the law. In 2004, my family and I moved to Florida and have been here ever since. From 2011 to 2015 I worked for another lawyer in Walton County, assisting him in his office, especially with scheduling of attendance at real estate foreclosure hearings in behalf of secured creditors. I was admitted to the Florida bar in 2016.

- Q. Can a married person who has power of attorney for spouse who is mentally retarded file for divorce and sign for them?
- A: No. A power of attorney does not allow the holder (also known as "attorney in fact") to practice law; signing documents to be filed in court in behalf of another person would be practicing law. It would also be a conflict of interest for one spouse to sign papers in behalf of the other spouse, in a divorce action,
- Q. If I authorize someone to conceal carry on private property, am I legally responsible if someone is injured or killed?
- A: They would be responsible, as always, to conduct themselves in a reasonable manner. Unless you have cause to suspect that your safety team members are likely to do otherwise, you would not be liable. It would be a good idea to see that they have taken a firearms safety course and to make sure the requirements of your liability insurance are complied with.
- Q. What should I do after I found out I could not use my dad’s Social Security after he passed away for the current month
- A: If I understand correctly, Social Security payments made payable to your father were being deposited into a checking account from which you were authorized to write checks. If such a payment is deposited into the account and if the payment is for, either in whole or part, sometime after the date of his death, you should return the payment to the Social Security Administration. Advise the SSA that he died on February 24th. Do not spend the money.
