You need to ask the lawyer because it’s a not a cut & dry situation & it matters not what others were able to do. The POA document may have to specifically state you can handle bankruptcy proceedings on your husbands behalf.
We filed Chapter 7 last year and I was able to sign for him in everything. Our attorney did come out one time to speak with my husband and go over some documents. My husband is fully able to understand what was being told to him.

But if he is not competent enough to know what is going on, as his representative, you will probably sign your name with POA after it.
