Can a power of attorney write checks to themselves?

The permission to write checks on an account depends on whether the power of attorney (PoA) is general or limited. The general PoA allows the holder to do practically anything the grantor can legally do. A limited PoA would have to stipulate that writing checks on the grantor's account is permitted. If the PoA allows it, and writing a check to yourself is not prohibited by the bank policy, the answer is YES.
