    Mum and Dad had each other and me as their POAs. Theirs were done under the old system where they had the option to let the POAs act "jointly and severally" which meant that I was able to get on and act for the them independently. I presume the same option exists under the new system.
    Yes it does. Did my parents earlier this year and about to do in laws.
