Legal Question in Family Law in Georgia

My elderly father, who lives in another city, set me up years ago as an agent under a durable power of attorney. He is now blind, and needs my mother to sign forms on his behalf. Is it acceptabe to set her up as an agent as well, whereby he will have established two agents under durable power of attorney documents?
