A Power of Attorney (POA) is a LIVING document, meaning it exists while a person is alive. The Person has the ONLY SOLE right to appoint a Power of Attorney and to un-appoint (discharge) the same. No one else can appoint a POA on behalf of, or in place of, the Person who retains that SOLE right. And, a POA "dies" when the Person dies.
The Person can appoint more than one person to be a Power of Attorney (POA), I think. But it could be a legal nightmare to appoint more than one person with POA rights over ALL parts of the Person's life. I would keep it to ONE person holding both the Financial Power of Attorney AND the Medical Power of Attorney.
Let's have an example of trying to give 2 people Power of Attorney rights....
Mr. Z has 3 brothers and 3 sisters. If he was allowed by law, he could make his oldest brother and his oldest sister POAs. Mr. Z has been healthy for years, and suddenly had a Stroke. But let's say that the 2 siblings rarely agree on anything. Oldest Brother thinks his POA status means he should take a "cut" from Mr. Z's savings "for all I do for him". Oldest Sister rightfully / legally says "You can't do that! Besides, our brother has a lot of bills and medical bills!" Oldest Brother gets really angry and decides he'll try to sell Mr. Z's house too. Oldest Sister objects! Oldest Sister arranges for their sick brother to go to "the best" rehab hospital-- but Oldest Brother objects! ... Long story short, the only recourse would be for the 2 to go to Court....OR for the Person to discharge/revoke one or both POAs! So, to avoid conflicts between 2 people with "powers" it is much better that there is ONLY ONE Power of Attorney, given to a person with the most stable financial habits, with common sense, and knowing they will not receive any financial gain or benefit (which can only occur in Estate proceedings once a person dies, but NOT under a POA).
