My 90 year old mother's health is failing rapidly, and I have a
question.
I'm her agent (and son) for her power of attorney for
healthcare. I've
heard horror stories of people signing their elderly parents
into a nursing
facility, and after the parents money runs out , because the son
signed, the
nursing home comes after them for the balance.
If I'm reading the print correctly, I can sign for her as POA,
without any
personal liability.
Is this correct??
That's correct if you don't sign anything that says you are
assuming personal liability. I wish I had a quarter for every
time I have told someone: "You should have read it before you
signed it."
