I have a sister in intensive care. We need her to assign Power of Attorney (POA) so we can pay her bills. I have the form. She doesn't have much, a house and bills. Can two people - a brother and sister - both be assigned as POA or should we only assign one person?
Hello ****. The law typically allows for multiple POAs, but it depends on your location. Can you tell me where you are located so I can provide more accurate information?
Her home is located in Crawfordsville, IN *
