Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In emergency situations where an agent cannot communicate with the principal but must act to protect the principal's property or interests, the law recognizes that the agent has emergency powers. This allows the agent to take necessary actions that they reasonably believe the principal would want them to take under the circumstances, even if they do not have express or implied authority for those specific actions.
