A Power of Attorney is not granted for your benefit. You have been granted the power to sign for your father in his legal matters and at his direction. You cannot use that power to benefit yourself unless it is at the express request of your father. If you use your power to create a debt in your father's name without his permission and intended to benefit you, you can be prosecuted. The law does not look kindly on people who misuse their fiduciary powers and positions of trust.

How can a spouse get their name removed from a car loan when the other spouse was not there to sign for it and had better credit and there was not a power of attorney used?

I'm not quite sure EXACTLY what you are asking, but I'll give it a shot. If BOTH names are on the loan and you want to get one off, the other person has to re-finance the car in just their name. If it's in just your name, then you have to get the other person to assume the loan by applying for a loan in their own name. Basically, you can't just remove a name for any loan you've signed for. Someone else has to refinance in their name, on their credit.
