Can I appoint more than one attorney?
Answered by the SAMEDAY LPA team — qualified estate planner
Yes, and most people do. You can name up to 4 attorneys, and you can also name replacement attorneys who step in if a primary attorney can't act. You'll need to decide how they make decisions together. Three options: "jointly" (all must agree on everything — strict, can be slow), "jointly and severally" (any one can act alone — flexible, most common), or "jointly for some decisions, jointly and severally for others" (custom — but the form requires you to specify which decisions). Most people choose jointly and severally for practical reasons. Family dynamics often drive this choice more than legal considerations.
