Cana personal Bank account be garnished for medical bills?

Can a person account be garnished if that person is only the power of attorney on it? Also what about the privacy law?

What do you mean "the power of attorney on it"? The account belongs to the person who gave you the POA, and the POA authorizes you to withdraw funds from the account? Probably garnishment would be unsuccessful, assuming you have your I's dotted and t's crossed.

By the way: a person is not a POA. One (technically called the "attorney-in-fact") holds a POA. The power of attorney is a legal right (or power) documented by a piece of paper, which also is called a POA.

"Privacy law": which privacy law, and what about it?

Of course. If the creditors have a judgment. But if this relates to your other question, see my answer in the other thread.

A person is not a POA "on an account" as a POA you will not have your name on the account and your social security number is not attached to it. As a POA you merely have a POA form that gives you permission to sign for the other person,

If another person lists you on their account, then it can be frozen and ownership proven if not belonging to the person who is being garnished.

Ive merged your threads. Please don't start multiple threads for the same question. If you have a follow-up please post it to this thread.

Yes a personal account CAN be garnished for medical bills IF a judgment is obtained and local laws allow it.

Having power of attorney for a person or account does not make you an owner of the account or their assets. Only accounts where you have a ownership interest are subject to attachment.

If you are someone's POA that does not mean that you are responsible for their debt
