Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Massachusetts

Generally, you want only one person to have a power of attorney and authorize the second to act only if the first is unavailable or incapacitated.

If you have two people, they would be required to act together so you do not have one countering the other. That would mean they both might have to appear at a bank to handle your funds et cetera initially. It is possible to do a POA this way, it is just a little cumbersome.

If you have a specific concern, I would be happy to speak with you and suggest a solution.
