You may appoint multiple Agents. If you appoint two or more Agents, you must decide whether they must act together in making decisions involving your affairs, or whether each can act separately.
Consider the advantages and disadvantages to both forms of appointment. Requiring your Agents to act jointly can safeguard the soundness of their decisions. On the other hand, requiring agreement can delay action, or one may be unavailable to sign. If your Agents are allowed to act separately, one will usually be available to act for you, but there may be confusion and disagreements if the Agents do not communicate with one another, or if one of them believes that the other is not acting in your best interests. It is generally a good idea to appoint a substitute Agent.
Powers of Attorney are only as good as the Agents who are appointed. Appointing a trustworthy person as an Agent is critical. Without a trustworthy Agent, a Power of Attorney becomes a dangerous Legal instrument, and a threat to the Principal's best interests.
