Is the Power of Attorney person responsible for outstanding debts?

Asked by john65pennington (29258points) July 23rd, 2011

I was my mothers legal Power of Attorney, before she died. I paid all her bills with her money. She left behind numerous unpaid bills.
Question: now that my mother has passed, am I still responsible for paying her outstanding debts, as her POA, or are these debts just written off and that ends it?
