I am a POA (an attorney in fact) for my father, who has Alzheimer's. A satisfaction of judgment has not been filed for his divorce a few years ago. A title company has sent me a satisfaction of judgment to sign for my father, I do not want to sign anything I did not initiate in my fathers behalf. What should I do?

If the judgment has been satisfied, you should sign on your father's behalf. There are penalties for failure to sign a satisfaction of judgment when the judgment has been satisfied. If you don't know whether the judgment has been satisfied, ask the title company to provide proof.
You should take care of all of his legal matters if you are able to. I'm not sure I understand what a satisfaction of judgment has to do with a divorce, though. Perhaps if you could provide a little more detail I would be better able to advise you.
