NOMINATION OF CONSERVATOR OR GUARDIAN; RELATION OF AGENT TO COURT-APPOINTED
FIDUCIARY (§ 64.2-1606)

A. In a power of attorney, a principal may nominate a conservator or guardian of
the principal&#8217;s estate or guardian of the principal&#8217;s person for
consideration by the court if protective proceedings for the principal&#8217;s
estate or person are begun after the principal executes the power of attorney.

B. If, after a principal executes a power of attorney, a court appoints a
conservator or guardian of the principal&#8217;s estate or other fiduciary
charged with the management of some or all of the principal&#8217;s property,
the agent is accountable to the fiduciary as well as to the principal. The power
of attorney is not terminated and the agent&#8217;s authority continues unless
limited, suspended, or terminated by the court.
