The concept of "next of kin" is used only when no other instrument exists to determine control of an estate, make medical decisions, and so on. If a power of attorney has been properly executed and is in effect, then it supersedes any next-of-kin determinations.

Can power of attorney be held responsible if principal causes car accident?
The fact that you hold someone's power of attorney does not make you legally responsible for their actions. You are legally responsible for your own actions, of course. If as part of a settlement for the car accident you were supposed to issue a payment from an account of theirs that you have power of attorney over and you don't, you could both be in trouble over that, but the car accident itself would not be your fault.

Yes, the power attorney is a legally binding agreement. If the power attorney thinks that it is in the patient's best interest to be moved to another hospital, then that is usually what happens. The only other reason that would be able to be granted otherwise, is if a patient is able to still make his/her own decisions still, then they can vocalize their feelings.
