If a person (the principal) drafted a Power of Attorney that named two people as attorneys-in-fact each could be called a co-attorney-in fact. Each named attorney-in-fact would have the authority to sign for the principal. The POA should clearly express whether either one can sign or if both must execute documents on behalf of the principal together.
