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.

Corporate Proxy?

Get StartedIn the corporate context, the term "proxy" has two meanings. First, it refers to a person who is given the authority to represent, vote and exercise the powers associated with the stock owned by the person who designates the proxy (the "Stockholder"). Second, the term "proxy" also refers to the document under which the stockholder gives the power to the person who will represent the stockholder. Thus, a proxy document is actually a special power of attorney. In many cases, the proxy is given to another stockholder.


How do I get Power of Attorney and medical authority over a grandparent?

The powers must be given voluntarily. Your grandparent must execute a Durable Power of Attorney and a health proxy if they have legal capacity to do so. If they are not legally capable due to age or illness then you must petition the court to be appointed their guardian.A DPOA and a health proxy grant sweeping powers over a person and their property. Their agent must be absolutely trustworthy, organized and understand their responsibilities and powers. You and your grandparent should consult with an attorney who can review the situation, explain the consequences and advise you of your options.See related question link for more information.
