The same property? Normally, no. But a standard Illinois statutory form power of attorney gives the grantor of the power the ability to name successive agents. On the other hand if you are talking about something like a power of direction under a land trust or similar situation, you can name two or more people and designate an "either / or" or two out of three kind of requirement. You need to be more specific about what is going on.

The response given is not intended to create, nor does it create an ongoing duty to respond to questions. The response does not form an attorney-client relationship, nor is it intended to be anything other than the educated opinion of the author. It should not be relied upon as legal advice. The response given is based upon the limited facts provided by the person asking the question. To the extent additional or different facts exist, the response might possibly change. Attorney is licensed to practice law only in the State of Illinois. Responses are based solely on Illinois law unless stated otherwise.

Do you mean more than one document or more than one appointee?
