Can I sell his home to pay for this

Yes. You can if the POA says that you can. Take great care. If you don't know the answer to this question it concerns me that you may not know how to do POA completely. That you are uncertain of the rights and the rules. If that is so it is imperative for you to get answers that are PROFESSIONAL and LEGAL. That means an attorney. Profits of the home must be in HIS name with you as POA. You must sell the home at fair market value. Everything must be up and aboveboard.

You should see a CELA Elder Law Attorney, with your POA documents, to get guidance and to assure yourself everything is done to best practice. A Forum of strangers is just that. We aren't realtors or attorney's and we give you our best guess. You need expert help when you are dealing with crucial legal, medical and financial questions. Your POA pays for this.

Best of luck to you.
