Legal Question in Elder Law in California
Can there be two powers of attorney for one person?
My Mom wants to grant me power of attorney and I want my brother to also have it in case something happens to me. Can he have it valid while I'm still alive or can we make it so it becomes effective only upon my death or inability?

Yes, the grantor of a power of attorney can either grant one with a successor Attorney in Fact named in the event the first one cannot act, or grant two, with the second one being a "springing" POA that only becomes effective upon the occurrence of some event, such as the first person's death or incapacity. I personally favor the second option, but either work.
