Incidental or implied authority is the authority that is not expressly granted to the agent in the agency agreement but is necessary to carry out the expressly granted authority. In the case of an emergency situation that is not covered by the agency agreement, the agent may use his incidental authority to act in the best interests of the principal. The agent's actions would still need to be within the scope of the agency relationship and align with the principal's objectives.
