If the agent knows that the Power of Attorney has been revoked, yes, it can constitute fraud and be charged as a criminal act. However, termination or suspension of an agent's authority or of a power of attorney is not effective as to an agent who, without knowledge of the termination or suspension, acts in good faith under the power of attorney.

Once an individual is removed as power of attorney, they no longer have the legal authority to act on behalf of the person they were representing. Continuing to use the power of attorney after removal may be considered a crime, such as fraud or abuse of authority. It is important to comply with the legal process and seek proper authorization if acting on someone else's behalf.
