Best Answer

Yes. If you transfer the Principal's property to yourself without specific authorization in the power of attorney, or engage in any self dealing or waste of assets, you may be prosecuted. If the principal is 65 years of age or older at the time that the property is transferred to you without authority, you may also be prosecuted for elder abuse. In addition to criminal prosecution, you may also be sued in civil court.
