In a way, it won't make a difference. His death doesn't end his obligations for this or any other debt. His estate must resolve those before dispersing to beneficiaries. So it will pay, and presuming your the beneficiary of the remainder, there will be less to receive.

If you become power of attorney for a deceased sibling can you be held responsible for their debt?

No. There seems to be some confusion as a POA becomes null and void upon the death of the grantor. However, the POA grantee is never responsible for the debt of the grantor beyond said grantor's financial assets.


If you are the power of atty for your parents and your sister is the Executor of estate stole their credit credit card and the home they owned has been transferred to children who is responsible?

If your parents are deceased the Power of Attorney expired when they died. It is no longer in effect. If your sister used their credit card after their death then she committed a criminal act and could be prosecuted. Her use of the crdit card has nothing to do with their estate. She is responsible for her actions. If she charged on the account after your parents death, the credit card company can't attach the real estate you inherited. They would need to bring charges against your sister. You should cooperate by providing them with any information you have that would help in their investigation, where they can find your sister and the circumstances that enabled her to use your parents credit card (her being the executor of their estates).
