All POA's have an underlying understanding that the agent is acting in the best interest of the principle. If the principle is clear headed and you are going around their back doing this, you are not fullfilling your duty. If they are incompetent and you are acting in their best interest, that is another matter. You really need to have a local lawyer look at the POA and assess the situation. Is it a standard general durable POA or is it a springing POA? Is the principle competent? is this move in the principal's best interest?
