Can someone register a car with out your signature or knowledge?

Possibly. If you do not have to show proof of identity in your state or if they have a limited power of attorney that just needs to be notarized they can do it. It's a form they get from the state that gives them the right to do all everything to register or sell a particular car. Your signature is supposed to be notarized, but there are a lot of crooked notaries.


Is it legal to buy a car under someones name if you have power of attorney but they are not aware of the situation?

No. Self-dealing by the attorney-in-fact is a violation of law. The only authority under the POA is to sign instruments on behalf of and at the request of the principal. If the power is used for personal purposes such as to purchase, register and insure a car under the principal's name, the attorney-in-fact would be placing the principal and their property exposed to creditors and lawsuits. The attorney-in-fact would be committing fraud. An attorney-in-fact is in a position of trust and therefore must be trustworthy.

You should discuss the situation with an attorney who can review the details and explain your liability, if any. The attorney will want to know if you allowed the driver to use the car regularly or if you reported it stolen.

Can power of attorney be held responsible if principal causes car accident?

The fact that you hold someone's power of attorney does not make you legally responsible for their actions. You are legally responsible for your own actions, of course. If as part of a settlement for the car accident you were supposed to issue a payment from an account of theirs that you have power of attorney over and you don't, you could both be in trouble over that, but the car accident itself would not be your fault.
