I volunteered to be an elderly woman’s Power of Attorney so that I could help her in writing out her checks to pay her bills. I am not compensated for helping her write checks. But, she seems to feel that because i am her Power of Attorney I must take care of all of her problems and be responsible when things go wrong.
