Hello,
I'm a designated power of attorney for my father. Does that mean I'll be liable for his debts if any occur (e.g. nursing care, property tax, etc)? The background is that recently my father filled out an enduring POA and my brother and I jointly act as attorneys. My brother who scares me really does mount up the care bills for my parents at the moment. I feel nervous it will get worse when my father's enduring POA is in force and the money will probably run out. I'm now wondering if a stage is reached where the bills exceed the available cash will I be liable? If that is the case I'd feel like getting out of this fast before I'm pressurised to agree to things that end up sending me into very serious debt.
