Question:
The third question. Yes, quickly: Is it permissible for an agent to act in his own interest in the matter for which he was appointed? Is it permissible for an agent to act for himself through the agency?
Answer:
No, it is not permissible for him to act except within the limits of what he was appointed for and what he was authorized to do. He must not act in his own interest or for the benefit of relatives whose testimony is not accepted, but rather he must execute the agency as the principal ordered. Yes.
