Yes, this is possible. But there are real complications when there is more than one person handling the financial and medical issues. You really should sit down with an attorney and go over the pros and cons of two people. there are some benefits, too.

If you want me to assist, please call my office, and pick a time to come see me. No charge for the first consultation.

I agree with Bob, that this can be complicated, especially if there is disagreement in the decision-making. There should be an agreement on how differences are resolved and the possible agreement of a mediator to avoid judicial intervention is case of disagreement.
