Under the right circumstances it can get you a new trial if you claim your trial lawyer was incompetent. However, that usually occurs only with serious criminal actions and only after the defendant has written letters for years to people and agencies who might help.

In a civil matter it would get any legal document such as a will, power of attorney, contract, trust, deed, etc judged null and void.

Can I have legal rights to a baby without going to court?

If you are the natural parent you have legal rights. Those rights are presumed and someone will have to go to court to take those rights away. if you no longer have a relationship with the other parent, or have a very bad relationship with the other parent, and they are the primary caretaker, then the other parent can go to court, perhaps gain sole custody of the child, and your rights will be greatly limited.If you are not the natural parent, it is very difficult to gain legal guardianship over the child without the parent's consent, unless the parent is shown to be incompetent. If the parent is found incompetent, there is no guarantee the court would not find the state foster care system a better option for the child. In any event, you would have to go to court to have any guardianship/adopted parental rights recognized.

Can parents lose custody if both are on prescription narcotics and do not keep the children with them?

Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else. That someone else could petition the court for a legal guardianship and gain legal custody of the child. That would be in the best interest of the child and the person with whom the child lives should have legal custody.Yes, if the parents do not "keep" their child with them that implies they leave the child with someone else.

How can you find out if your stepmother had your father declared incompetent two years before he died and kept it a secret from his adult children - in order to secretly gain financial control?

Such an action would have necessitated a court order to declare him incompetent. That would have required a mental competency hearing at which medical testimony would have had to be presented to the judge who issued the ruling. Go to the local courthouse for the jurisdiction in which they lived and go to the Clerk of The Courts office and make inquiries about any such case bearing your father's name.
