Answer:
An agent with Power of Attorney (POA) is generally not personally liable for actions taken on behalf of the principal unless they exceed their authority, act illegally, or misuse their power for personal gain. Typically, an agent is not held responsible for contracts made by others unless they were directly involved or agreed to act as a guarantor or co-signer.
