A power of attorney (POA) generally allows an agent to manage financial matters on behalf of the principal, but the ability to change the name on a life insurance policy depends on the specific terms of the policy and the authority granted by the POA. If the policy permits changes and the POA explicitly includes the authority to make such changes, then the agent can proceed. However, any modifications should be made with caution and in compliance with the insurance company's requirements. It's advisable to consult with a legal or financial professional to ensure proper handling.
