Best Answer

Executing a Power of Attorney has nothing to do with your debt. A POA grants the attorney-in-fact the authority to act for you on your behalf by performing such tasks as your banking and bill paying, selling your home, managing your property, signing legal documents, etc. Your debt is your own responsibility. You can't assign it to someone else unless they agree to take responsibility for it in writing.
