  behalf of a principal to a person who may request such  record  pursuant

  compel  the  agent  to  produce a copy of the power of attorney and such
  record.
    2. A special proceeding may be commenced pursuant to this section  for

  power of attorney was executed;
    (c) to determine whether the power of attorney  was  procured  through
  duress, fraud or undue influence;
    (d) to determine whether the agent is entitled to receive compensation
  or  whether the compensation received by the agent is reasonable for the
  responsibilities performed;
    (e)  to  approve  the  record  of  all  receipts,  disbursements   and
  transactions entered into by the agent on behalf of the principal;
    (f)  to remove the agent upon the grounds that the agent has violated,
  or is unfit, unable, or unwilling to perform, the fiduciary duties under
  the power of attorney;
    (g) to determine how multiple agents must act;
    (h) to construe any provision of a power of attorney;
    (i) to compel acceptance of the power of attorney in which  event  the

    A  special  proceeding may also be commenced by an agent who wishes to
  obtain court approval of his or her resignation.
    3. A special proceeding may be commenced pursuant to  subdivision  two
  of  this  section  by  any  person  identified  in subparagraph three of
  paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section 5-1505 of  this  title,  the
  agent,  the  spouse,  child  or parent of the principal, the principal's
  successor in interest, or any third party who may be required to  accept
  a power of attorney.
    4.  If a power of attorney is suspended or revoked under this section,
  or the agent is removed by the court, the court may require the agent to
  provide a record of all receipts, disbursements and transactions entered
  into by the agent on behalf of the principal and to deliver any property
  belonging  to  the  principal  and  copies  of  records  concerning  the
  principal's  property  and  affairs  to  a successor agent, a government
  entity or the principal's legal representative.
