'I’ve been out of my deadbeat father’s life since I was 18. Then, he might want me to pay his outstanding debts and medical bills.' The Moneyist has some advice:

My parents divorced when I was very young due to my father being a physically and emotionally abusive alcoholic and drug addict.

He has a myriad of medical issues and he’s in poor health but not dying, although I suspect his health is going to deteriorate rapidly over the next decade given his destructive lifestyle.He is not someone I want in my life, especially now that I have children of my own. I last saw him when he showed up high on cocaine and punched his cab driver outside the church during my brother’s Holy Communion.

It may help to look upon your father as sick, rather than bad, and lost rather than cruel. That could help you to heal and to forgive him, so you can move on from the anger and humiliation of such incidents. I say that because I suspect that a part of your fear about what happens now is related to your experience of dealing with a highly volatile figure. That said, you can decline to be a person’s power of attorney.

Each case is unique, of course, and there has not been a flood of similar cases as is sometimes suspected after such a ruling. Your father was not there for his children, and a judge would take that into account in the unlikely event that a nursing home came after you for payment of bills, even if your father lived in one of the 29 states with such laws.
