My stepfather is 94 and in a nursing home. My mother has POA but would like to give POA to one of his daughters and move him to a nursing home closer to her. If she gives up POA and the daughter doesn't continue using his retirement money to pay for his expenses or builds up other bills, is my mother responsible for them? Are there any forms she needs to fill out to state she is no longer responsible for his bills?

While your mother can choose to not be the POA, only the stepfather can change who he gives the new POA to. If he is mentally unable to do that at this point, then he needs to have a guardian appointed.
