If I have more than one Donee, how should they decide on matters on my behalf?
If you appoint more than one Donee to make decisions about the same matters, you can appoint them to act in any of the following ways:
Jointly: The Donees must act together and not individually. When any one Donee is no longer able to act, all the donees in the joint appointment will be terminated.
Jointly and severally: The Donees can make the decisions together or individually. Both types of decisions are valid. One Donee can act without consulting the other Donee.
If you appoint more than one Donee and do not specify how they are to act, the law assumes they are to act jointly.
