Subject:  Legal statutory methods to acquire power and control over person

I observe that you desire to acquire the services of a male slave. You may be aware that actual Slavery is illegal in most though not all nations of the world. How then can you actually own another person in the United States?

Well there are a variety of options. Sadly few people in the alternative lifestyle are aware of their existence. Nonetheless legal statutes exist that grant a temporary or irrevocable power exchange between consenting adults and even can be imposed upon someone against their will by a court of law.


Definitions of the word Slave:
1. A slave or convict forced to ply an oar of a galley.
2. A person assigned to perform tedious or menial tasks; a drudge.
3. A woman held unwillingly for purposes of prostitution.


hm();Sources=Sources | 2;

4. The performance of duties or the duties performed as or by a waiter or servant; occupation or employment as a waiter or servant.
5. Ready to be of help or use to someone; at one's disposal:
6. one who has become via voluntary or enforced statute the actual physical property of another person, family, corporate body, and who is compelled to serve and obey them on penalty of physical chastisement, torture or death.
7. A person who has become a legal nonentity and who is devoid of any and all freedom, human rights and civil liberties.


I have a profile which you could read to determine my potential suitability to be acquired by your good self should you wish it after prolonged negotiation. First I will notify you of the existing options.

INDENTURED SERVITUDE:

Contracted "slavery", so long as the term "slavery" is not used is
both legal and enforceable. "Indentured Servitude" with clearly defined
text relating to "Typical Duties", "Excusable Duties", "Violations"
and remedies must be included. While no one person (In the USA) may
"Own" another person, they may be accountable both legally and
morally. The "Term of Servitude" must be defined and "What" is to be
gained by the contracted parties. (Think of an automobile sales
contract.) Every aspect must be included and clearly defined, for both
parties, including remedies for breach of contract. In essence, the
"Owner" is a contractor for specific services and the "contractee" is
who provides the service and vice-versa. Obviously, "Slavery" is
illegal in the United States and most countries -but- in many
countries, to repay a dept incurred, "Contracted Servitude" is a reality.

Be -very- clear and concise, include some sort of monetary gain be
this exchange of goods or "Allowance" to parties, "Show Gain" and
reason because if not listed, may prove illegal as laws change. This
can be any amount but fee's for services rendered. Also, he or she needs to be 18 or over here in the States to even sign a contract and for it to be enforced. A lifestyle sympathetic lawyer is the best one to approach in order to facilitate such a contract.

GENERAL POWER OF ATTORNEY:
A power of attorney is a means by which one person (the Donor) can appoint another person or persons to act in the name of the Donor. The power of attorney can be either general in nature permitting the attorney to carry out any act that the donor could have carried out personally (though there are some minor exceptions to this), or it can be given for a specific task.
Anyone who has legal capacity can give a power of attorney. This means that the person giving the power of attorney must be over the age of 18 years and must not be mentally incapable
Once granted a power of attorney can be revoked by the following-
·         specific revocation by the donor
·         implied revocation by the donor i.e. some act by the donor inconsistent with the continuation of the power
·         death of the donor
·         bankruptcy of the donor
·         mental incapacity of the donor (unless it is an Enduring Power of Attorney)
A general power of attorney can be created very easily. You can download our form for this and all you will need to do is fill in the name and address of both the Donor (the person giving the power of attorney) and the Attorney (the person who will act as the attorney)
An attorney appointed under a general power of attorney can do most things which the donor could have done personally. One important exception to this is in connection with the Donors functions as a trustee in connection with the sale of a property. When a house is owned jointly then the owners of this are trustees – though often holding upon trust for them. The powers of the trustee can be delegated under a power of attorney but these need to be dealt with specifically rather than generally. Thus if the purpose of the Power of Attorney is to enable a jointly owned property to be sold then the general power is not suitable. You should use our specific form for the sale of a jointly owned property
Alternatively you can grant a Power of Attorney which is limited to specific tasks. This would be convenient if, for example, the donor was going abroad for a long period of time and wanted someone to be able to carry out certain tasks but did not want to give them complete control over the Donors affairs.

Adult Adoption:
Here is advice:
As far as I'm aware, the "adoption" of a person over 18 only happens in a few isolated circumstances ... one, an adoption may be in process prior to the child's 18th birthday, and is granted after the birthday, meaning that the child (now adult) is legally related to the adoptive parent and entitled to all rights of inheritance, etc. The second might be for a person with significant developmental or other disabilities that prevent them from taking on legal adult status. More likely, this second relationship would be a legal guardianship, not an adoption. I've never heard of an older, non-disabled adult being legally adopted ... I can't see that there would be any legal reason for it!
I can see a reason for it. If you want to be legally a family member, with all the legal rights of family - such as visitation rights in a hospital, insurance rights, etc. So, can adults, who don't want to be a couple, but would like to be considered legal family, adopt one another?
Adults can "adopt" other adults even in circumstances where the prospective adoptee is mentally and/or physically impaired. The legal process would be to petition the court to become the legal guardian and conservator. This is only applicable to persons who have been deemed legally incompetent and are unable to conduct their personal and/or financial affairs.
Actually, in America, adults can adopt other adults. This process is known as "adult adoption". It has been used in many states by gay and lesbian couples who want to be accorded the legal rights of family members in areas where there are no civil union laws, although in some states it would be considered incest for someone to adopt their partner. It is also used by people who are not partners, but have ties that they want to cement as family ties for the purpose of inheritance rights, hospital visitation rights, and other rights generally considered the domain of family. It can be used by adults who want their step-parents to be considered their legal parents, as well. There are many different reasons and uses for adult adoption, but it definitely exists and goes on all the time. So this is another way to acquire the exercise of legal control over a subject person.

ADULT GUARDIANSHIP:

Guardianship is needed when a person is unable or unwilling to make and communicate responsible decisions regarding his personal care or finances due to a mental, physical or developmental disability.  Without more, a mental, physical or developmental disability is not sufficient for the appointment of a guardian.  The fact that a person is elderly, mentally ill, developmentally disabled, or physically disabled does not necessarily indicate a need for guardianship.  The extent to which a guardian is allowed to make decisions for a ward is determined by the court based on a thorough clinical evaluation and report.

Two basic types of guardianship are "person guardianship" and "estate guardianship".  A "guardian of the person" is appointed by the court when a disabled individual cannot make or communicate responsible decisions regarding his personal care.  This guardian will make decisions about medical treatment, residential placement, social services and other needs.  The court appoints a "guardian of the estate" when a disabled person is unable to make or communicate responsible decisions regarding the management of his estate or finances.  The guardian will, subject to court supervision, make decisions about the ward's funds and the safeguarding of the ward's income or other assets.
In anticipation of emergencies, the Probate Act provides for specific remedies to temporarily safeguard alleged disabled persons.  A temporary guardian may be appointed by the court for the period between the filing of a petition for guardianship and the conclusion of the court hearing where the need for guardianship is decided.  Temporary guardianship, which lasts no longer than 60 days, is a means to ensure that an alleged disabled person receives immediate protection.  It is intended only as a short term remedy and is utilized only where a demonstrated harm or emergency exists.
            For the most part, any person 18 years of age and older who has not been convicted of a serious crime and who is of sound mind can serve as guardian, if the court finds the person suitable.  A guardian must be a legal resident of the United States.  Public and private not-for profit agencies also are eligible and encouraged to participate in the guardianship role.  Only agencies providing residential services to disabled persons residing in their facilities cannot serve as guardians.
            Family members are not automatically named the legal guardian for their disabled relative.  In all cases, the court will make a determination as to the need for guardianship and who should serve as guardian.  A family member may petition the Judge to be named guardian or the disabled person may express a preference as to his guardian.  If the disabled person expresses a preference, the Judge will give consideration to the disabled person.  However, the Judge appoints whoever will make the best guardian and act in the best interest of the disabled person, regardless of the party's relation to the disabled. A Guardian can also be nominated by the subjects legal representatives rather than be court appointed.

Guardianship is a court-created responsibility.  In order for a guardian to be appointed, a petition must be filed in the court by an "interested person".  The petition includes basic information, such as the name, date of birth and address of the person alleged to be in need of guardianship.  A report must also be filed which includes a physician's description of the person's physical and mental capacity along with their relevant evaluations which would enable the Judge to determine the kind of guardianship needed.
                       Guardianship hearings are set within 30 days of a petition being filed with the court.  The alleged disabled person, or Respondent, must be served with summons and a copy of the petition.  The Respondent may be represented by an attorney, have a jury trial and present evidence and cross-examine witnesses.  Where appropriate, the court will appoint an attorney or lay person to serve as the guardian ad litem.  The guardian ad litem acts as the "eyes and ears" of the court, and advocates for the best interest of the Respondent.  Before the hearing, the guardian ad litem must interview the Respondent, inform him of his rights, and investigate the appropriateness of guardianship.  If the alleged disabled person opposes the opinions of the guardian ad litem, or disputes the need for guardianship, the court may appoint an attorney to represent the Respondent.
                       At the hearing, evidence about the Respondent's health, mental faculties, finances, housing and life style is presented.  The guardian ad litem reports to the court as to the condition of the Respondent and may recommend the type of guardianship needed.  The court reviews all the information presented, including the physician's report, the testimony of witnesses and the testimony of the guardian ad litem.  Finally, the court either enters a limited or plenary guardianship order or finds that no guardianship is warranted.
                       An appointed guardian is responsible for overseeing a program intended to maximize the ward's self-reliance and independence.  A person guardian also may be required to submit an annual report to the court concerning the services provided to the ward and the status of the ward's personal care.  Estate guardians must file inventories of the ward's assets and periodic accounting of estate receipts and disbursements.  All estate expenditures are subject to court review, and the guardian may be held accountable for estate assets improperly managed.
                       If a change in guardianship seems indicated at any time, or if the annual report recommends that guardianship be changed or revoked entirely, a petition for modification or termination of guardianship can be filed.  Based on this, the Judge may then terminate the guardianship or modify the guardian's duties.  A court may also appoint a successor guardian if a guardian is unwilling  or unable to perform his duties.
                       Any party filing a petition for guardianship usually is required to pay fees for filing, sheriff's fees for the service of summons on the Respondent, and attorney’s fees.  Although it is not required, petitioners are generally represented by attorneys, particularly in contested guardianship cases.  In some cases, the petitioner may pay fees for the services of the guardian ad litem or the physician who prepares the medical report.  If the alleged disabled persons have funds, these may be used to pay costs and fees.
                       Guardianship can be costly and complicated.  In many cases, alternatives to guardianship can and should be used.  Guardianship should be considered a last resort, a mechanism by which a person's legal rights are taken away for a sound and necessary purpose.  It should never be used in a retaliatory manner or as a convenience for a health care provider or a family member. Used to acquire a slave subject legally though may be termed a legitimate reason.
