Your attorneys will have legal authority to act on
your behalf if you lack mental capacity.
You can choose to have more than one attorney, and
indeed this can be a good idea. However, having too many may prove
impracticable. The main factor is that
your attorneys are people you trust.
Whilst it is not essential, it would be helpful if your attorneys know
each other or are at least willing to work together. If there is an existing rift between them it
could cause unnecessary delays in your affairs being dealt with.
You should also consider how realistic it is for your
attorneys to be able to assist you, for example, if they often spend long lengths of
time in remote parts of the world, it may be sensible to choose another
attorney who is more local.
You can also name one or more replacement attorneys in
your LPA, in case your first choice can no longer assist you.
There is no obligation on you to have the same
attorneys for your financial LPA as your health and welfare LPA.
