As POA I was handling my brothers finances including receiving his social security disaability. A medicaid application was filed and the nursing home was sending me bills for what they said was his portion of his bill. I sent them checks for whatever amount they asked for. THEN, the nursing home calls and says they were billing wrong, he's going to get a large bill in the mail but don't worry he doesn't owe it. Now, I find out that He and I (as POA) are being sued so they can try to collect what he owes. We've filed a bankruptcy for him because his income is $45.00 after paying the nursing home...he'll never be able to pay off the balance. So, they're sueing me too. Am I personally liable for his debt?

It depends on what you signed. You need an attorney.

What state do you live in? In some states, NH can go after loved ones to pay a parent's expenses, but I'm not sure if it is the same for siblings.
