You may appoint a 'secondary' (back-up) individual if you believe the first-named person can't or won't act. You can either re-write your original POA to include this person, or write a separate new one naming the secondary. Be sure that both persons are aware of each other and their duties. Make certain the POA's are signed/witnessed/notarized/whatever, as required by the laws of your state.

How does one sign a document if they have a power of attorney in Oregon?

If Sam Harris is the attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens he would sign Christopher's name on the document and underneath the signature line he would add "by Sam Harris as attorney-in-fact for Christopher Hitchens". The reason the person with the POA signs the principal's name is that the attorney-in-fact is standing in for the principal and therefore signs the principal's name to the document.

Can you add your sibling to a power of attorney?

You can't add yourself to their request without their agreement. If your mother is not legally competent, the power of attorney will be granted by a Court and you can ask the Judge to include you, or name you instead of them. What the judge will do depends on who well your argue your case.ClarificationYou haven't added enough detail and you are confused about your legal terms. You haven't mentioned who the principal is. In the United States, Powers of Attorney are not granted by judges.A person must be legally competent to grant a POA and it must be done voluntarily. The principal chooses their attorney(s)-in-fact. No one has the right to "add themselves" to a Power of Attorney.On the other hand, if someone has petitioned to be appointed guardian over a legally incompetent person you can't ask the judge to "include you". Rather you would need to file your own petition. The court would launch an investigation as to the best appointment for the ward. However, we don't know what you're asking about.


You are an executor of a will can you transfer this to your sister through power of attorney?

Next, you are not the executor until you have been duly appointed by a court. Only a court can appoint an executor. If you don't want to take on the job of executor then when the will is filed for probate your sister can petition to be apponted the executor and you can file a declination at that time. An executor cannot assign their powers to someone else via a power of attorney document.
