A Power of Attorney (POA) terminates upon the death of the Principal, as an agent can only act on behalf of a living person. When an agent performs an act under a POA, it is as if the Principal is carrying out the act. Therefore, once the Principal is deceased, the agent no longer has authority to act.

A POA can only remain effective after the Principal's death if the agent acts without actual knowledge of the death. However, an agent cannot claim to act on behalf of a deceased Principal, especially if the POA does not explicitly authorize such actions posthumously.
