No. The principal is the person who appoints their own attorney in fact under a power of attorney. If their AIF cannot act for any reason the principal must appoint an alternate. An AIF cannot appoint an alternate AIF with all the original powers granted by the principal
The exception would be if in the original power of attorney document the principal granted the AIF the specific power to appoint an agent to act in his/her stead. For example, that power may be granted in a POA for a principal who owns property in another state. That would allow the AIF to appoint an agent to market the property in the other state and then if the property is sold the agent would send the deed of sale to the AIF for signing.

Can executor appoint a representative?
Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf. This is done when the executor lives some distance from where the estate is being probated or in another state. You should ask the attorney who is handling the estate. If the executor simply wants to appoint someone else to take over their duties that would not be approved by the court. In that case, the executor should decline and let the court appoint another person as executor.Generally, an executor can appoint an "agent" who can act on their behalf.
