Re: General POA
Yes there can be more than one agent named. The issue is whether the two can agree on action to take. You do not want constant disagreements regarding how to act in the interest of the principal ( the mother). As long as your mother is competant she can change her power of attorney at any time changing the named agent by adding a name or subtracting a name. Your mother should consult with an attorney about the matter. If she would like to schedule a consultation with my office she can contact me.
