Your example is somewhat specious, self-serving, and not an accurate analogy.
Quote:
For example, if I were to say the following to you:
You may have my keys to enter my home while I am on vacation, to take care things while I am away;
To water my plants;
To feed my cat;
To take in my mail; and
To turn the lights on at night and off in the morning.
I might agree with you if the general powers had been stated in such a limited and specific manner. They were not.

However, if we provide an equivalent to your analogy,
Then,
You have the power to promote the general welfare of my estate while I am away;
To borrow money on the credit of my estate;
To regulate commerce as it relates to my estate;
To make sure every Thing in my estate is up to code;
To raise revenue for the protection of my estate;
And,
To water my plants;
To feed my cat;
To take in my mail;
To turn off the lights;
Someone with that type of power of attorney would probably be justified in the fiduciary exercise of making improvements to the estate.
