It will likely depend upon the state law where your mother resides AND perhaps the forms that you are actually signing on her behalf. Do you also anticipate being able to handle or negotiate other aspects of her finances such as paying bills or depositing funds for her?

you can call your Attorney or the Court clerk to explain how your situation has been set up.
I am conservator/POA for my adult disabled son for 'Person" only, therefore I assume no responsibility for any estate or finances incurred.

I would think that your mother would be responsible for the bill and you could use her money to pay it. Didn't you get your POA through a lawyer, he could clairfy for you.
