Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Texas
Power of Attorney Liabilities
If I am my mother's POA on all of her accounts and I am sued for something (say killing someone for drunk driving) can her assets be attached by a court for my problems? She wants me to have an ''umbrella policy'' just to cover her assets.

Her assets can't be touched for any wrong-doing on your part. But if having an umbrella policy makes her comfortable, they're very inexpensive.
