Power of Attorney liabilityWhat is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan I signed a personal care contract for my disabled father in 2005 and 2006. Both contracts are signed as POA. I disputed charges (the contract fees were changed without my knowledge or authorization) ,but subsequently all my father's assets have been exhausted. He is now at another facility and I am personally supporting approximately half of his living costs. I am being sued along with my father for the prior debts (which I dispute) by the home care agency (not the facility).Do I have any personal liability for his debts? |

| Is there more to this story, like he gifted out money to you within the last 5 years, or you gifted money on his behalf?

| I haven't used any of my Dad's money for myself. It has all been used for his care. I signed the original contract and the subsequent one with my name followed by "POA" because I wanted to be sure that I would not be liable. There were no other signed contracts for 2007 or 2008. A local attorney asked me if I had attached my Power of Attorney to the contract, and I think either the facility or the home care agency must have asked for it, but I really don't remember. Why would that make a difference? |
