...goes even further when addressing gift-giving. In the past, it was relatively easy for people expecting to be named as agents to slip into the POA a self-serving gift-giving provision. Because these write-ins would often be overlooked by the principal, it was possible for agents to write checks to benefit themselves and clean out a principal's bank account.
