QUESTION
Am I liable, as Durable Power Of Attorney for my 97 year old father, with dementia, living in a care facility, for a debt to a pharmacy service?
Asked on Nov 23rd, 2020 on Debtor and Creditor - Florida
More details to this question:
I have gotten a notice from a collection agency for a little over $400 for a pharmacy service bill incurred somewhere along the line after my stepmother passed away last April and my father moved to a new care facility. The notice is addressed to my father at my address. I am not trying to stiff anybody and am willing to pay his debt.

If you are willing to pay the debt why the question? That stated, the bill is in his name not yours - so not sure where there is an issue that affects you. Presumably you used your address for the billing. You can always use a PO Box you set up for your father if you want to keep the contact trully separate.
