CAN YOU HAVE TWO PEOPLE AS HEALTH CARE POWER OF ATTORNEY?
A general Durable Power of Attorney provides the attorney-in-fact with broad powers. However, a person can execute a Power of Attorney that specifically limits the powers and duties of the attorney-in-fact. It can be tailored to exactly meet the needs of the principal and it should be drafted by an attorney. A separate health care proxy that names a different individual could be drafted at the same time by the same attorney who can make certain the desires of the principal have been properly expressed and addressed and the powers of the two agents do not overlap.

Can a person have two powers of attorney?
Yes, it is called co-powers of attorney or joint powers of attorney. It is possible to execute a joint power of attorney where you can name more than one person as your agent. You must decide if the power will be shared, whereby they must act together, or if it will be independent, whereby each has full power to act independently of the other. Shared powers work best when the agents have a good relationship and compliment each other. You can also split the authority where each has power over a certain aspect of your affairs. Independent agents work well when each has particular skills. Whatever scheme you choose should be discussed with your proposed agents and with your attorney and should be clearly set forth in the power of attorney document. A POA grants sweeping powers and should be drafted by an attorney. Your agent(s) will have complete access to your assets and will need to be capable of keeping a good record of their actions, especially of all the money coming in and all the money going out. They must be trustworthy, organized, intelligent, reliable and act in a professional manner where your finances and property are concerned.
