You would be responsible only if you signed a written agreement with the care facility and/or physicians to pay her medical debts. Being a legal representative (POA) does not obligate that person to take personal responsibility to pay the grantor's (named person's)debts outside of the ability of the grantor (named person) to pay debts using his or her income/financial resources.
