Best Answer

The permission to write checks on an account depends on whether the power of attorney (PoA) is general or limited. The general PoA allows the holder to do practically anything the grantor can legally do. A limited PoA would have to stipulate that writing checks on the grantor's account is permitted.

If the PoA allows it, and writing a check to yourself is not prohibited by the bank policy, the answer is YES.

What is the correct spelling for plural of power-of-attorney?

Recast the sentence, or risk losing clarity. Instead of "They took their power(s) of attorney(s) to the hospital," write "They each brought their power of attorney to the hospital" or "They took copies of their power of attorney to the hospital." Same problem arises with, for example, the title "Book of Mormon" and "Power of Love" You'd have to say "copies of the Book of Mormon" or "versions of Power of Love" to preserve your meaniing.
