Duties as Power Of Attorney?

My Dad owns a piece of vacant property. The town (small NH town) sent a letter addressed to him last November saying he has too many tires stored on the property. I have power of attorney (POA) for my Dad, though no town official has ever seen the paperwork. They are now suing for the tires to be removed. The court summons came addressed to me only. His nor his wife's names are on the paperwork. I do not live there, do not own the property nor am I accused of dumping the tires there. Can I have the charge dismissed at the court hearing since I do not own the property? Why and how could they charge me?

    No bro. Since you have power of attorney, you have to represent your dad in court, and in other legal matters. So, you have to go to court for him. Why don't you go ahead and have someone remove the tires? You are supposed to take care of everything concerning your dad, so you should have done this too. Pay a local guy to go over to the property and haul the tires to the junkyard.

    A POA skill you have the suitable to do his criminal agency if he turns into unable to. It expires upon his dying, and then the will could be performed. It relies upon what the will says as to how his sources could be dispensed.
