Can someone’s legal power of attorney file bankruptcy for them?

My mother is bed ridden and unable to go to a lawyer’s office to file bankruptcy papers for herself. I am wondering I am with my rights to do so on her behalf as her legal power of attorney?
How does someone who is bed ridden and infirmed to the point that they cannot travel file for bankruptcy? She is not able to go do an office visit and needs someone to come to her residence to sign the paperwork. I am asking this question because I thought I could do so as her representative and legal power of attorney.

if i file chapter 7 bankruptcy will i lose my house?

Hi im asking this question on behalf of my mother in law who is currently in jail. She just recently told my husband, who has power of attorney for her to look into filing bankruptcy. At this point, her only valuable asset is her home, which is what we are trying to save, so if we file chp 7 will that really do any good?
