Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Georgia

My mother needs power of attorney for my dad (ages 84 & 89 respectively). In and of itself, no problem. However, she also wants to give both my sister & I power of attorney for each of them.

1. Is there any conflict here?

2. Is this 5-Powers of Attorney?

Giving multiple powers of attorney to multiple people presents or could present enormous and potentially disasterous or expensive legal problems. She needs to sit down with a lawyer and discuss what she actually should do.

Well, it's legal, but it can cause problems. What if you and your sister can't agree upon a particular issue?

I never heard of 5-Powers of Attorney.
