You can appoint more than one attorney and decide how they should make decisions.
Attorneys can be appointed jointly, meaning they must agree and act together on every decision. Alternatively, they can act jointly and severally, allowing them to make decisions either together or independently. You can also require joint decisions for specified matters while allowing other decisions to be made separately.
Requiring every decision to be made jointly provides shared control but can cause practical difficulties. If one joint attorney dies, loses capacity or can no longer act, the remaining attorneys may be unable to continue unless the LPA has been drafted to deal with that situation.
Allowing attorneys to act jointly and severally usually provides greater flexibility, but it also means an individual attorney may make certain decisions alone. The most appropriate arrangement depends on the people appointed and the powers involved.
