Standard Legal suggests that SEPARATE Power of Attorney documents be created for and signed by each person individually — even for long-time married couples.
Having separate Power of Attorney documents still allows the Attorney-in-Fact to handle marital assets and the related business and transactions for a couple.
But creating separate documents ensures that both persons have agreed to said representation by individual signature, which eliminates confusion and protects the privacy of each parent.
