Can an agent named in a power of attorney change the a beneficiary designation made by the person who granted the power of attorney?

Can lawyers sign documents for their client even if the client refuses?
It depends on the document and the surrounding facts. In most cases no. But it can be foreseen where Court orders it, or the issue is a dispute regarding payment of the attorney and a contract authorizes the attorney to sign. The lawyer has a duty to act in the client's best interests. Generally if the client is saying don't sign something and the lawyer disagrees, the lawyer's duty is to persuade the client or, if necessary to avoid doing something else unethical or illegal, withdraw. Now, keep in mind that if a lawyer signs a document on a client's behalf without the clients actual consent, the other party to the agreement may be able to hold the client to it due to the apparent authority the attorney had. An attorney acts as an agent for his client, if he signs an agreement on your behalf, it may be enforceable against you if it appeared to the other side that he had authority to sign and that he/the client had the ability to fulfill the agreement.
