my brother was diagnosed with uncureable cancer. my questions is
what happens to his debt. such as credit card and personal bank loans.
according to his will, i have the power of attorney and all his personal
debt free assests was left to me. could the creditor force me to sell the
personal items that was left to me to pay of the debt balance. if so, how
could i stop this procedure.
p.s. he has no children and his wife left him couple of years ago.

well, his estate wasn't debt free so once you pay off all the estate debts, I guess you get the rest.

could the creditor force me to sell the
personal items that was left to me to pay of the debt balance.

yes and if you screw them, they can sue you personally.

if so, how
could i stop this procedure.

why do you think it right to try to screw his creditors out of the money your brother promised to pay them?

his wife left him couple of years ago

was there a divorce?

So let me clear this up. It is your intention to take your brother's assets for yourself and not pay his debts
