What if my Agent doesn't carry out my wishes?

That will depend on the terms of the Power of Attorney and your state's laws. Frequently, the Power of Attorney will include a provision saying the agent is not responsible for losses that result from a decision he or she made in good faith. Since agents are often asked to serve without compensation, they are usually only held responsible for intentional misconduct, for example, using your funds for personal purposes. Requiring the agent to provide you or your family with an accurate accounting of how they handle your financial affairs on a regular basis will help to monitor whether they are acting in a responsible manner.
