Contact your state Board of Bar Overseers immediately and make a complaint. They should investigate the situation on your father's behalf to make sure the POA was legally executed and valid. If they will not act quickly then you should consult with an attorney who can review the situation and determine what your options are.

If your aunt had already been diagnosed at the time she signed the loan she was not legally capable of signing a contract. However, your aunt's signature makes her legally responsible for payment of the loan until evidence is presented on her behalf that she was taken advantage of by your sister. You should consult with an attorney. Your sister's behavior should also be reported to the district attorney in your jurisdiction if she has taken advantage of a legally incapacitated person.

None of these ailments, in and of themtselves, is sufficient grounds for voiding valid contracts. You REALLY need to consult with an attorney for legal advice on how to proceed with your debt obligations.AnswerPeople who are mentally incompetent cannot enter into legally binding contracts. If a document was signed by a person who was mentally incompetent at the time, the document can be set aside by a judge. If the person has been diagnosed with the mental illnesses mentioned above, you should consult with an attorney who can review the situation. You should take with you evidence of the diagnoses, and dates thereof, and any credit contracts that the individual signed after they were diagnosed as well as any bills or overdue notices. Perhaps correspondence from an attorney, if appropriate in this case, could help to resolve the situation. If that doesn't work the attorney can try to negotiate the balance down and arrange a payment plan. If that doesn't work the mental conditions could be used as a defense if the creditor sues for payment.
