Child 1 took 17

Child 2 took 9

Child 3 took 8

Can power of attorney be done by two people?

Yes, in two instances. If there is an actual valid Power of Attorney (POA) document that states that the the POA is shared amongst more than one person, the POA is divided amongst whoever is named in the POA. Alternatively, if there is no POA document and, for example, a parent is incapacitated, the POA would automatically be divided amongst the incapacitated parent's heirs or children. This may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. For instance, in your jurisdiciton, the oldest child may automatically get full POA or the POA may be divided equally amongst all living children. Without knowing where you are, it's impossible to tell. You should contact a lawyer in your jurisdiction. If there is no POA document and POA automatically is divided amongst the parent's children and there is a disagreement as to how to proceed, either with the parent's healthcare or with the parent's assets, again, a lawyer should be contacted to ascertain your rights in your jurisdiction.
