Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Ohio
a friend's power of attorney
I took over power of attorney for a friend who was incarcerated over the summer. i charged 3000.00 to one of his credit cards from a balance of 2500.00 to 5500.00, all household stuff. he is approx.186000.00 in debt. although i knew the situation did not look good, he has not filed yet. i just ran the house and his affairs while he was in jail for crack cocaine use. now he's upset. what kind of trouble am i in??..thank you

Re: a friend's power of attorney
As long as you had the power to obtain credit under his name, and did not use the funds for your own personal gain, you should be fine.
