Again, you argue apples and cumquats.
If you have been granted a POA then what you can and can’t do will be spelled out in it, and as long as you stay within those boundaries, there is no issue, if you stray then there is.
I imply ANY action taken that is not specifically allowed.
You have that backwards, there is no such animal as an “agent-by-estoppel”. If you take an action and upon discovery of it by the principal, whenever they find out about it, and the principal does not repudiate the act, then that act is considered an act of agency of estoppel, but it has no other connotation and grants no status. This is a very risky and dangerous manoeuver legally.
Question one: either there is a POA or there isn’t. The POA will spell out what powers are granted and how they are to be exercised, otherwise there is no authority. The POA, within limits, controls all.
Question two: NO and NO again. You cannot appoint yourself someone’s agent and/or assume a POA. Legally for most of the things a POA is needed/used for a [b]written[B/] signed, sealed, acknowledged, and published POA, if that does not exist then whatever actions you take will have no legal force or effect, and can be overcome by someone saying he had no authority to do that, and you can and will be held legally and personally liable for anything you did or any cost you incurred.
In re...1 utter nonsense, I said no such thing.
In re...2 more nonsense, there is no appointment or assumption, the State is carrying out it’s own laws.
In re...3 still more nonsense, agency implies you have any say in the matter, you don’t, you are not a part of that equation. It is simply the State carrying out it’s own laws in default of the individual acting.
