Answer:
No, the agent cannot change the power of attorney or its purposes without a court order. Only the principal can revoke or modify the power of attorney. The agent has a fiduciary duty to follow the principal's wishes as expressed in the document. If the principal is mentally competent, they can revoke the power of attorney at any time or change the agent.
