Full question:
I am Power of Attorney for my son who was ill but is now better. He has an outstanding debt from a home equity loan. I received a judgement from the debt collector that I am named as a defendant in the paying of this bill. How can that be possible. I have signed nothing of his. I was just handling his affairs while he was sick.

Answer:
It depends on whether you signed anything as Power of Attorney (POA) for your son. If you acted on his behalf in a way that created liability, you could be named in the judgment. It's important to consult with a legal professional to address this situation properly.
