Legal Question in Credit and Debt Law in Pennsylvania
If someone has power of attorney over their mother who is in a nursing home and her mother passes away (pennsylvania), is that person responsible for her mother debts? She had no assets and her unsecured debt is about $5000.00 total. Thanks for any advice.

Power of Attorney does not make you personally responsible for your Mother's debts. Her estate, if any, is responsible.
