In light of the fact your mother is deceased, she no longer has the power to execute a power of attorney to anyone. Powers of attorney prepared during life, die when the maker of the power dies.

Does the family inure the debt the father made without their knowledge once he dies?

Estate Planning lawyer at Law Office of William L. Spern
My sympathy for your loss. You may have a moral obligation but no legal obligation to pay unsecured debts of your late father. If your mother or any other family member never agreed to the debt, they have no obligation to pay the debt. This all assumes that there is no estate opened to transfer assets. If an estate is opened, the estate must give notice of death and a time period for all debtors to make a claim against the estate.
